Any photograph of a body assumes a relationship between photographer, model and audience. Although the audience is a factor that can not be ignored, the relationship of photographer and model can presume trust, distrust, confrontation, equanimity, or can be sanctioned, unsanctioned. Without question, the model is vulnerable, exposed to the attitudes of the photographer, the lens, the film and ultimately an audience. While the power relationship is unequal, and can never be balanced, does the photographer have a responsibility, and if so, what is that responsibility? In an inappropriate relationship the results can be destructive, the wrong message conveyed; the image used against the model's will, can be used for a subverted and undisclosed purpose. But for the model and photographer the experience can become an empowering positive journey of discovery, where each learns about their relationship with the body, where the model clearly understands the intent of the photographer, where issues are discussed before, during and after the event, where there is consultation, a sharing. A relationship where over time the photographs unveil a new validity about the body, it transforms becomes something else. At the time the images are taken it can be natural for the model to feel approving of the relationship, but perhaps a sincere test is how the model feels in retrospect about this relationship. How do they feel about the event and results more than ten years later.
