The model in this series could be the subject of a devotional painting.
With her long brown hair falling over her naked body, she seems to be having
some kind of religious experience — brought on by contact with the divine,
or perhaps by the person at the other end of the arm that occasionally
reaches into the frame.
Mexican-born photographer Raul Hofer Torres likes contradictions like sexy piety.
"As a child without a male figure while surrounded by females in a
macho-oriented Latin American and European culture, I was raised with a
contradiction of ideas and values," he writes on his website. "Do I want an
independent and secure woman? Or must I feel needed and be the
protector?"
This series suggest he's having an awfully good time sorting it all out.
