This image is taken from a Korean film called Werewolf Boy. I’ve never seen it but, from what I’ve read, it tells the story of a young woman finding, befriending and taming the boy of the title.
I’m not sure that it’s really a story of female dominance in the conventional sense, but I do like this image. There’s a beautiful sense of stillness and control in it. Their respective positions speak to the idea of knight and queen as well as beast and owner.
It’s all a matter of taste I suppose, but I certainly prefer monochrome images (or colour that’s tastefully muted).
Also, erotica, whether written or in the form of imagery, should leave something to the imagination, which is clearly the case here.
Glaring technicolor images of the hardcore type do nothing for me as a rule.
I have a friend who is a keen amateur photographer. He always jokes that if you want to make someone look good, shoot them in monochrome, and he’s right. I’m not exactly sure why but it tends to create a more interesting and visually appealing image. Possibly it’s because the reduced information allows the viewer to more easily imagine the scene as he or she prefers, rather than as it actually was. Or perhaps the reduced information simply suppresses flaws and makes it less likely there will be a jarring element in the image.
When I’m researching the origin of images for posts I often discover that the original is color and the version I’ve found and posted has been modified by a re-poster into monochrome. Almost always I prefer the version I found and very rarely do I publish the original color image.
