Timmers Loc: San Antonio Texas.

This has been coming up from people and I think it might be helpful in understanding what is being seen in many of the images that I make. Over the course of many sessions that I have been involved with I find certain posing and gestures women will have when they are allowed to be themselves. I will illustrate these visual cues so that there are no dough about the occurrences.

Of course there are all and many variations that occur, yet I have seen these bodily expressions over and over. I do think that the actions are a way of relieving a certain energy that builds during the course of the modeling session.

Again, not every woman has these gestures, but most do. This I see as the body language of an aroused state. I do think that most any heterosexual male easily 'reads' this body language. It is the action from women and the subsequent recognition that is the language of the erotic response.

The first and perhaps the single most clear expression is the bend over at the waist with the ass protruding. I am intentionally leaving out any image that might be considered as simply part of a pose. All of these gestures are honestly being struck without any suggestion from me as directions to pose a certain way.

I may be wrong but, none of the poses appear natural and wouldn't a natural pose compliment someone in such a state of natural dress? To me the poses look more distressful than erotic, as if the models had bad gas or something like that. And no I'm not trying to be a wiseass, that's just what I see.

"none of the poses appear natural and wouldn't a natural pose compliment someone in such a state" if this is what you see then that is what you see. I see a vary different representation, one of a body language that is one of arousal.

To each person there are body representations of their mental state. I see these as gestures of body that speak to the state of mind.

Tim, I think some of the naysayers are reflecting their state of mind not what's in the image. Then again everyone sees thing through their own personal filters. For me, the B&W really nails it.

"I see these as gestures that reflect the state of mind".
Of course the naysayers are "reflecting their state of mind"---that is exactly what the OP has asked for. Can you read beyond the trumped up, excessive, far too serious rhetoric used by te OP?

I'm not objecting to anyone's right to make comments on Tim's images, I just don't agree with most of them. You're right, if he didn't want people to react to his words and pics, he wouldn't be posting. I find Tim's narrative to deep, inciteful and more importantly, really interesting. But, then again, that's me, others here obviously feel differently. That is okay, I'm not offended and neither is Tim.

You missed the point. Try again.

Thanks for the reply and support in this and other posts. I also think you got it so don't bother with Kmgw9v "Try again." You got it, why do over what you already have done.

Though it may appear an obvious gesture, women also will express the state of erotic arousal with their breasts. It would appear, though it is often the tension felt in their nipples mostly. Some more images detailing this moment.

Really interesting.

Your first series are nothing more (or less ) than establishing different poses all of the same genre but with different backgrounds and lighting. Some are neat and nice, some not so. Your second two shots -eh.

Tim, why not write a four page explanation of your photographic intent, so if the images do not adequately speak for themselves; us dumbasses can better understand.

If you really read the text, you would understand that these were not “posed”. The models were given carte blanche to choose a position that they wanted to express their sexuality. The interesting point is they all chose similar positions.

So are the models asking for something, like to be ....?
This is so interesting—we need a wordy, esoteric, flowery explanation of the images.
