Kelvin’s Top 5 Pics of the Week

Thank you Molly for asking me to curate Sinful Sunday this week! One of the things I love about Sinful Sunday is seeing the variety and diversity of the work that people create, and this week was no exception — it was a really tough decision deciding on five pieces to highlight!

Exposing 40

Group of people naked in the dark with backs to the camera, they are light by green and pink light

I love the energy of this picture — intimate and playful, cosy and colourful. I’m also really glad Exposing 40 included a camera roll screen grab — I love how bright the colours are, and how all the images are both varied enough that each feels unique, and yet together they feel like a coherent and complete set.

A to sub Bee

Black and white of person laying on their back naked with their legs open and someones booted foot covering their genitals

I love stark black-and-white kink photography! I think it works especially well here, emphasising the harshness of the boot that’s right in the centre of the frame. I also really like the first person point of view here — again, it really emphasises the power dynamic for me as a viewer.

SnapShotz

Collage of naked man combined with statue

I love the interplay with and interpretation of previous artwork in this image! It’s incredibly clever, and I can’t imagine the work it must have taken to get the shot perfectly correct. The collage effect really reminds me of zines, which I love.

My Wild Lens

The soft lighting and colour palette here are absolutely perfect for the subject matter and tone — intimate and tender. The centred flowers are placed perfectly to draw the eye with their bright colour, with the two figures and their interaction with each other being what I noticed second. Lovely composition!

Corrupting Mrs Jones

The wider and pulled back frame really works to emphasise the landscape here, especially in terms of its scale. The word I keep coming back to when describing the feeling it gives me is ‘wonder’ — the landscape and the warm light on the central figure keep making me think about what a liberating experience this must have been!
