A poetic reading of Sabrina Elaine's photographs by Lloyd Godman
The eye in all this
the preparation, halts - the camera angle frames the self
more of this angle, the neck twisted – eyes up towards the camera
with the inception of image, the make up - make over - is frozen in time
with the definitive moment of release comes a question
Lips: puckered – taught- tentative – moist – rounded – sensual- anxious – open - dry
Hair: dark - straight – silky – scruffy – flat - high -
Clothes: formal blue - racy red – black and white to match the glasses
Neck: twist- tension – stretched - relaxed
Nose: shorter with this angle – longer with that
Ear: hidden - revealed
Eyes:
Where is the I in all this?
