Yikes!
Lovely portrait (Tore Hansen @ Shining Future ) for this week .
Nice Pick .
Thanks 🙂
Heide.
Is.
Amazing.
Beautiful Shot! Really well done!!!!!!!!
I sought her out on the web as soon as I saw this shot. Surprised she does not have a full portfolio. Only found her Facebook page.
What a shame she has those dopey tattoos.
I liked the photo but couldn’t get around those tattoos. Photographer should often cover those with make-up.
They can look nice and be a personal thing, but they often doesn’t look good in every possible situation.
I dated once a tattoo artist and learned that 90% of tattoo takers have remorse to get one after a while. Even a small ones like butterfly or small heart on angle etc.
And today it is big business to remove tattoos.
I met once a firefighter that had his blood type etc as tattoo on both of his arms, because he has way too often witnessed people to die because blood type mistakes (even when believed that O- is always universal). He had all the data as tattoo in arms (about 8 letters) so if something happens to him or someone and blood is needed, medic can just check arm.
But when you are 50+ years old, you don’t much care about tattoo.
the photographer clearly liked the tattoos on her , if he had a problem with that he would not ask her for rhe shoot. tattoos are always trendy,I dont like them either to be honest, but sometimes there are exceptions ofcourse.
I think the exception was that one of the many guys ‘she’ knows either does not like tattys either, or he is an Electrician. I can see a gay guy liking her as they would share a lot in common, save for the want of each other.
Those are barely mid-quality tats, from a town either with only one tattoo parlor, or there is two but the other you know not to go to. If I knew more about them I could say that is neither the kind nor the way you put tats on a chick, but lets not get in over our heads.
Not a fan of bleach, unless she sits in a tub of it.
I really do not need the shaved off eyebrows put back on with a felt marker look. The fake (or tattoed over) ‘Marilyn’ is not trendy. That is not all that appears fake but I do not want to speculate.
I don’t need the (lets go with) weird makeup, if you prefer I call it a ‘Mortician makeup job’ that is OK. Why try to look like “not a keeper”.
On the issue of NOT speculating I will not speculate that is a guy. I’m not a Doctor, what do I know if the arms, hands, fingers, etc. do not appear female. Look how short the nails are, (Note to self: I better cut mine soon if I’m gonna say stuff like this).
Look how much more feminine Esther and ‘Scott Götz’ appear, and it is so much more difficult to make the call in their photos.
The reason everyone does not spray paint “I’m Cool” on the side of their car or house (or themselves) is cuz it would not be cool.
I gotta appreciate the clarity and honesty of the warning signs, yup I’ll stay away. PS: It not like I do not know nasty chicks, nor have not had (female) roommates that had WAY too many boyfriends (in one week, let alone a few months).
I’m far from a prude, but that is not a “good look” to be sporting. I do not know why I would want any female I know to think it was a good idea to have that as a role model.
Why tin foil, saran wrap will keep it fresher.
This IS a tatoo model an I will never remove one pixel of tattoo or piercing from a model.
That is their identity – if there are pictures people do not like, move along there will always be pictures of buildings, water, cats, green f#))¤ birds on up in a three to watch 😀
Move on? No, everyone can give his opinion on this pic. If you don’t like this, you shouldn’t publish pics here.
Here’s mine:
I find the look of the model terribly ugly and unnatural, but the setting and light fit well.
This is some of the first pictures taken of her, and more will follow
Sergio’s pic is interesting and dramatic.
Scott Götz’s & Tore Hansen’s B&W portraits are my favs . Scott’s shot is very moodfull and shows the 45mm main ability in the best way.
Thanks alot. This is one of my first shots with that lens, and I instantly love it. Don’t even miss OIS
as a low budget person , sometimes its good to see people do nice photography with reasonable priced gear, without spending a month salary or more for it 🙂
well i’m a student. so it is kind of a months salary 😉 but i know what you mean. it’s no studio, flash, tripod, reflector, mua whatever involved. just person – camera – picture
Thanks a lot 🙂
Wonderful group of photos this week. Very inspiring to see such lovely images!
“Shinning Future”
When did objectifying women become OK again? 🙁
The world’s going to pot! YoU thinks that’s bad, check out this cover of Wallpaper magazine the model is reduced to that of a vegetable!
A carrot I tell thee!

Why do you objectify a womans body?
Maybe some people should just relax that if there is a woman in photo it isn’t making them as object.
If you want to start from somewhere, tell to teens and young woman’s not to wear tight jeans or mini-skirt or cloths from what you can see trough, or wear a shirt that has a V-shape opening, or tell them not to wear push-up bra’s etc….
Many woman’s do make themselves as sexual object by alone using a make-up or cloths in daily life.
If someone make a photo of woman in same manner as swimsuit would hide the body, it isn’t a problem. But if someone starts posting those to street billboards and tv-advertising or normal magazines, that is wrong as much as woman’s wearing such cloths that makes them look sexually active ones.
it all happens in the head
When was the last time you saw a woman walking down the street “dressed” like that? What about the way she is posed? I find the taped up breasts and submisive pose distasteful and outdated.
its a concept, but if you find that unpleasant to see then thats how your brain reacts on it. Imo i find your opinion rather prejudiced & tunnel visioned about this.
What a load of crap.
He’s got her breast out to appeal to immature male brains.
Simple, effective, but still degrading. To both subject and audience.
Don’t get me wrong. If you are going to do a sexy photo, embrace the sexual appeal of your subject and empower the subject tough your art.
But to say “it’s a tattoo photo” when you’ve purposely chosen to leave a couple of scantly covered breast in the shot is lame.
no this is how you answered your problem yourself, we interpretate a photo the way we experience it. In your case you ignore all other moods except the one you are feeling yourself. you have a negative opinion that is left in your head, its your problem, go on with the way you see the things and live with it.
Maybe you should try something new called Google ?
Try type tattoo models, pinup models with tattoo
Not heard about photostudio ? It’s a room dedicated to take pictures with lights and stands and cameras and models and photographer.
lol, that’s a very telling response.
another one who hates the tape lol
This is a lifestyle…
And not everybody takes landscape and pictures of cute kittens.
When the model agrees to the amount offered.
Since nature created opposite sexes.

my comment prob got deleted on this one.
What was your comment Sir? Write it sdrawkcab so not to hofend those with sensitive hearts and tremulous bowels.
lol
my reply was something like “I am horny enough to recognise that carrot on the left as a model” no more no less.
i just copy and pasted it as an image file lol
Wonderful portrait with Esther Karoline Rørstad
My first time uploading pictures to 43rumors.com was fun seeing two of my pictures been choosen.
Regarding “Shining Future” and the comments – I will never ever ask my models to do poses, nude, cheesy sexual poses. Heidi is a tattoo/pinup model and this is her’s tattoos and style.
Tattoos are like everything else, some like it, some lives for it, other hates it, the same goes for almost everything a person do and there will always be people who don’t like thin people, fat people, people with black/red/white/yellow/blond hair, no hair and etc etc etc….
making photos of female models always gives “special” commentaries; its easy to dislike a photo because one just not likes the kind of model, some will praise it because they just focus on their fascination for a model or the opposite effect, happens to me too to be honest. Some people think its already enough if you have a beautiful model to make a good shot. Its true that many preferences for certain looks can raise or break one’s opinion for the photo you make.
Hello Mr Hansen. You did a great work with Esther model. This portrait is absoluty fantastic and i like the expression.
The level of self dusion is incredible.
You’ve got her breats out for absolutely zero reason. Covered with some lame tape.
It is 100% a cheesy sexual pose.
You really can’t see that?
what is the problem with sexual content…and you have a problem with the tape, sounds like you want to pull it away. You pretend to dislike the photo imo
I did not make the model do anything, not sure how it’s in your country, but in mine girls are allowed to take their own descisions…
She might be into that. And like I said before….boobies are just you know….stuff. But like, not like dude stuff. Just other stuff minus the dude stuff. To each his own I guess.
All models are visual prostitutes anyway…….so the guy who cried about objectifying women should quit whining.
” visual prostitutes” …and you told me once you find me scary.
I suggest what is scary about my comment is that it is close to the mark.
sure, as long as keeping in mind its your mark, we all just have personal opinions to share here. Would you say the same to a model who is a close friend of you?
Boobies.
And about as plastic as the tape covering them.
Her face makes up for it. I call it…the face to boob ratio. When you throw in variables like “ducktape” it throws off the math a bit though.
Tore’s 1st photo makes it clear that some people handle such style in a very hilarious way…thank you for letting us know how some viewers are.
I typed the 3 letter word starting with s and ending with x, now my comment is awaiting moderation (again), should have known. Discus is in a way like some of those hilarious people.
This was my comment (censored):
“Yes, some people seem to think s..x is a bad thing. But it’s a
necessity. All living creatures are supposed to appreciate it. You could
say it’s a private thing of course, or choose it to be a private thing.
Or not. Hide it. Or show it. Look away. Or take a look. Tough
decisions?
Do we often wonder if there is absolutely zero reason for people wearing clothes in a photograph?”
Which was a reply to Nic by the way.
yes mine got censored a few times too about that carrot model posted by someone as a reply. need to be more careful about the words we use, in order to get it here.
Nice selection of images and i like Tore’s weekly winner. To those who critisized the model and type of image: Be honest and admit that you’d love to be able to shoot images like that but for whatever reason you don’t 😉
I sometimes ask myself, is intimate photography filled with nerds who vicariously are looking to express their non nerdness. You know, as a medium for nerds who are socially awkward to interact with the opposite sex.

The images here are very good. To the images from Tore…
I love both of them. The purpose of a portrait is not to catch the “likness” of a person but that persons “soul” or perhaps core personality. Obviously I do not know your model, but through the image you created (as opposed to “took”) I feel that I get a sense of the person, get “under her skin” so to speak. If people are offended by the tiny amount of skin here I seriously think there is something wrong with that person. She displays less of her physique than does the average sun bather, and if people find it offensive it’s because they have a dirty mind, not because the model or the photographer has a dirty mind. Seriously.
For the Esther portrait, it is cool that you to a degree go a little bit against “common wisdom” and use a (selectively) high contrast portrait with a beautiful female face. 99 out of 100 photographers would probably go with a far less contrasty picture here. Shows that it is not until you break the “rules” that you get interesting results.
