Sanna Vornanen's picture

Nameless

Usually I have the exact storyline for my photos. With this one I had so much stories in my head, I couldn't compress it in two or three words.

I would love to hear what do you guys see in this photo?

3 words eh? Release and Reflection.

Yes, quite catchy! Thanks :)

“Pick your poison”

Good one too!

Love it, great work Sanna.
Mahtavaa työtä jälleen Sanna, oot kyllä aivan huippu :)

Kiitos, Jukka <3 Sanat ovat tärkeitä!

I see a man with a fresh bruise on his right upper cheek. Judging from his clothes, he wasn´t trying to save a cat stuck up in a tree. At first glance the scratches come from fingers, and here it would of course fit the scene that the hand belonged to a woman. The incident didn´t occur long ago, maybe even within theses rooms. The framed picture throws me off a little, because although it gives us a clue, noone would ever bring a picture like this along with him into a bar -- and to me this looks like a bar-room setting (in a corner somewhere). Nevertheless, to me he is at the moment not thinking but rather watching attentively. Maybe to see who that man is with whom she just walked out the door. . . ?

Maybe if he stumbled out of the house already drunk and clutching the picture? Yeah, that is more of reach, but as I look the other images I do see that clear story across many of them, and I love the continuation across them. If we fill in the story as viewers, all the better.

This one story was nice! :)

Heiko, I should have made the room look more like a kitchen or something more cozy :) But nice storyline you got there.

I love to hear your stories, because it underlines it´s in the eye of the beholder.

Two once removed ...

I see a memorable night out.

Haha, I really like this one :D

Framed photo of a couple behind the bottle. Wedding ring on. Clothes and hair still neat. Slapped with the left hand by someone because his right cheek is marred up. The 3 scratch marks marks mean she grabbed his face and dragged her nails. Man she (his wife?) was pissed. One good one would mean she slapped him with her wedding ring turned backwards.

Doesnt look like a bar because theres no pictures or anything on the wall. Plus hes got that framed photo. Could be at his house. Man cave maybe?

Very nice analysis, like the exact point of view!

Mystery location (not bar, not home) a bit of a problem. Makes the shot look staged, disengages emotion. The man looks real, the props look photoshopped, so the photographer could change the environment to make it contribute to the scene in a realistic way (the man and is clothing is clearly in the tradition of realism).

Good shot! nice to see some good dominican rum there.

Thanks, Ivan! And thanks for clearing out what did I found from back of my husbands liquor shelf :D

He had a rough day...

He sure did!

excellent. like a scene taken out from a movie

I think it only adds to the photo if the story has loose ends. The unknown is what attracts (at least me) to go deeper. And your photo is that case. :)

Thank you!

Nice shot but one thing I can't get past.....He's a tough looking guy, but he's holding that cigarette like a sissy.

Haha, you really gave me a good laugh with this one :D Model doesn't smoke so I had asked him to keep cig like that, my bad :D

"I don't often discuss the credit card bills with her, but when I do, I find three fingers of Bermudez kills the pain quite nicely."

I think this one nailed it, definitely!
