Suggestive Friendship Shoots (UPDATE)

The Damon Loble 'Time Change' Series Shows Sapphic Elements

— November 25, 2011 — Fashion
The term "close friends" is taken to the extreme in the Damon Loble 'Time Change' series, the latest from the Los Angeles-based photographer. Recognized for infusing his shoots with a sense of eroticism and intimacy, Loble shows the friendship of two women, which borders on a romantic relationship.

Using his real life friends Anna and Jill as models, Damon captures the natural progression of the sun set in these shots, making note of how Daylight Saving Time affects the mood in a place like LA, where the seasons change without much indication from the weather. "I think it is a very interesting characteristic of Los Angeles, that for a few hours in a day it can feel like summer and then so quickly in the winter fade away," explains Loble.

Like his other projects, the Damon Loble 'Time Change' series offers up a lot of possible interpretations from the viewer, and is definitely worth a look.
Trend Themes
1. Erotic Friendships - Photographers can create more suggestive or erotic works featuring non-sexual friendship relationships, making use of everyday situations to push boundaries.
2. Natural Progression Photography - Photographers can use natural occurrences, such as the progression of sunset or changes in season, to showcase and amplify emotion in their works.
3. Ambiguous Interpretations - Artists can create works that offer different interpretations from viewers, allowing for more engaging and thought-provoking experiences.
Industry Implications
1. Photography - Photographers and studios can use the trend of suggestive or emotional friendship photography to gain attention and create new markets.
2. Fashion - Fashion brands can incorporate the trend of erotic friendships in their advertisements or campaigns to reach a new target market.
3. Art - Art galleries or museums can showcase pieces that offer ambiguous interpretations to attract more visitors and increase engagement with viewers.
