glam mouth


here's a shot i snapped from the wonderful and very worth-the-price roxy music dvd jean-lucien was kind enough to give me a couple of months ago. i've taken dozens of shots of bryan ferry, but whilst i was tricking this shot, (taken during a tv performance of 'ladytron' ) i found myself struck with the curious way his mouth turned up on one side and down on the other. i thought it communicated better in black and white, so i drained all the color out of it, and did some artful cropping to somewhat hide the overgrown lines in his hair. i never really thought he was that good-looking growing up, and though i find him very lovely now, the verdict is still out on the 'raw sexiness' question. like, sometimes he turns me on, sometimes he doesn't. but i still think its a pretty successful shot. and i love the song, too.
