Artsy self-portraits of a woman following the moon. She's mostly barefoot (and sometimes nude) in extreme terrain.

Extremely fascinating project, many thanks for sharing the info!

Thank you very much for the link. This is real art!!!

I totally agree with you, my friend! Sure the lady has a totally different style from ours in photography, but sure she knows how to use a camera!
I have started to follow her blog on Tumblr.. but it seems that she has not made any update for 5 months..
Ciao!!!

Great pictures indeed! I am wondering though (maybe Feetoshopper who is a pro photographer can answer this question for me) - if she didn't carry a photographer with her, how would she take picture of herself from a distant and do it that well? She could place the camera on the ground and set it to "delay" the shoot for a few seconds, but to do that professionally I assume it's kind of hard?

Also it seems a lot of the pictures cannot be zoomed to be larger Otherwise they are very pretty and artistic too

Hello there icebluejay.. well, first of all many thanks for the "pro photographer" title! I am afraid that my activity is more a weird combo of "guerrilla pornography" and "craftsmanship of glamour/fetish" , but I deffo appreciate a lot your trust in my technical skills!

Now, seriously.. it is difficult to tell the actual technique behind Ms De Agua's pics without being on location during the shooting. It can well be that the pics are taken by a photographer, not by Ms De Agua herself.
It would anyway be technically possible for the lady to self-shoot herself even from a long distance: the quality of the results, and the difficulty of the shot, would be mainly determined by:
1) the capabilities of the gear she uses (e.g. some cameras can "delay" the shot - and even a sequence of multiple shots, useful when the subject is in motion - also for half a minute or more);
2) how carefully she prepares the shot (e.g. by pre-focusing the lens on a certain spot she has marked, delaying the shot for a time which allows her to get close to the spot, and walking exactly on the spot at the time of the shot, which implies that she must be very accurate in "counting the seconds").

Your complaint about the fact that a lot of the pictures "cannot be zoomed to be larger" would suggest that the original pics are actually not perfectly in focus and quite blurred, and are "sharpened" by greatly reducing their size.

This said, the pics are definitely fascinating, and the lady as well! (especially when barefoot & naked, to be honest! ). I have tried to get in touch with her on Tumblr.. I hope that she will reply.

Cheers from Italy!!!

I would also add that Ms De Agua's pics are getting way more attention on the forum than the picture updates on my sites.. which further proves my deep belief that "no hay mañana" for us old porn geezers!!!

Don't worry Feetstopher your photos are both beautiful and erotic and need no explanation. These pphotos by the barefoot desert girl are strange, wierd and beautiful, my guess as for technique is that she is using her camera with a remote control and taking self portraits.

Many thanks for your appreciation, DBF!
I must admit that in both my sites it is always difficult for me to find a commercially viable balance between my "artsy/classy" side and my "provocative/porny" side.
I find it equally satisfying to take classy full-figure shots of charming barefoot ladies, bold "in-your-face" close-ups of the filthiest soles, elegant outdoor nudes, naughty "spread-eagle" urban nudes and wild "guerrilla style" videos of explicit urban exhibitionism and outdoor sexual acts.
I am afraid that this can confuse some viewers, but that's the way I am.. love me or hate me..

As for the use of remote control in Ms De Agua shots: it can be, but it must be an extremely tiny, wireless remote control, with long-range capability.. deffo expensive gear!

Cheers!!!

Thanks Feetstopher, keep the filthy soles coming ! The filthier the better ! As filthy as possible!

I'll do my best!!!
Unfortunately sometimes it rains also in Italy, and this washes the streets.. if it happens the night before a session, soles do not get that dirty.
Being Italian charming girls, my models take showers quite frequently.. especially in the summer.. which means that their soles are MORE OR LESS CLEAN when they go out barefooted in the morning..
But if it has not rained.. the "sole make-up" builds up quite rapidly!!!

Don't say that Feetoshopper. Apologies, I did not mean to say you are not important or your photos are not as good. I respect your work very much.

Quick question though, during your photosessions have you ever been tempted to take off your own shoes?

No need at all for you to apologise, amico icebluejay!!!
Mine was just a general consideration, not targeted at anyone in particular.. and sure it's not a complaint from my side.. as I always say, "the public is king".. there's no whining that one has the best pics on the web, if the majority thinks they're pure crap!!!
And of course if anyone thinks that Ms De Agua's pics are more interesting / better than the ones I take.. sure he/she has the right to tell it loud & clear!!!
I mean.. I find Ms De Agua's pics very fascinating MYSELF.. and sure they are more artistic than mine, for obvious reasons.
Cheers!!!
