Title: Bound for Freedom
Review
This photo is one of the few pics (if any) I’ve ever encountered that appears to convey a story - in this case, that of a naked and weary kidnapped young woman who has escaped, and is now seen revisiting her ordeal in a private reflective moment while she awaits rescue [by boat]. The fog creates a dreary setting which perfectly complements the suggested narrative. Photograph requires little added imagination to impart a sense of desperation and despair (as seen on model's face). A rare, museum-worthy, photographic masterpiece (imo) from the artistic nude genre that effectively transcends the typical porno stills we've happily grown accustom to.
Photographer Anatoly Toor’s Bound for Freedom (model uncredited) is currently my personal fave to win the internet’s 2014 Nude Photo of the Year Award!
Past winners of this honor:
2010 - Giorgia Palmas
2011 - Dasha Astafieva
2012 - Constanza Mengotti
2013 - Alyssa Arce
