Daily Deviation

Given 2011-08-12
So many people have suggested this to me over the months that I've lost track who actually came first. However this amazing piece deserves a Daily Deviation for its clever concept and message and I simply will say Suggested By Many
anorexia by =NikkoTheNerd ( Featured by ^Kaz-D )

Critique by ~TheWalrusChild Sep 21, 2011, 1:24:56 PM
I love this peice, not only because its beautifuly composed but also for the fact a male model was used (self shot?) All to often males are left out of the picture, along with bulimia Anorexia is seen as "The rich girls" disorder, wich is very far from the truth. This leads to many people going under the carpet and not reciving help as their family and freinds would never expect it from them. In my 3 years of treatment I only ever met one male yet in my suffering and skeeking support online I have met to many to count, hopefully as your image gains notoriety more people will become aware that this illness also affects males.

3 things I love about the compostion of this image:
1: The anonymity.
2: The face; again bringing me back to the anonymity. You canot see the face of the subject but still you can feel so much emotion.
3: The desperation the hands show to remove flesh from their body.

I also love the lighting and the style you have shot this in, cold and dark, I dont think it would have had the same impact if youd of shot this in your normal style, so very good dessison.

Again very pleasing image and the message is very clear. I love it! :love:

For me i am slightly disturbed that this piece made it to the daily deviations and why anyone would want to see the severities of anorexia and a part of me feels it is promoting eating disorders however i read through the comments and took a look into greater detail and realised this piece is NOT promoting anorexia it is warning others about it so there for it is a strong piece with a strong message lots of people suffer with eating disorders all over the world and the message of this piece gives out just how serious the illness can get well done.

I am anorexic and I feel as if you have captured the meaning of it in this one picture.

that's probably one of the greatest compliments one could ever receive; of course it's not a positive thing, but still, maybe that makes it realer. I hope things are starting to get better for you, even though I know it's almost impossible ..

I just came across this. I love the concept and the shot. I have worked with my own body in shots that show this same type of torment. One I think you might like is this one.

I did an entire self nude series that dealt with strong emotions not unlike that which is conveyed here. Just wanted to say that I love this piece and thank you for sharing yourself and your emotions.
