“The very word ‘submission’ contains the paradox of wanting and not wanting,” William S. Burroughs wrote in the introduction of Jimmy DeSana’s 1980 book Submission. 

For the photogragraphic series featured in the publication, made between 1977 and 1978, DeSana built on 101 Nudes (1972) and his work for File Megazine by creating theatrical and often comic photographs that push the limits of respectability and explore domestic confinement, consumer affluence, and social conformity. He was also mocking the recent trend of S-M scenarios in fashion photography and advertisements.  

He titled many of the images after the objects depicted in them—Toilet, Coffee Table, Television, Shoes, Shower—rather than sex acts or the names of the individuals shown, who are always anonymous and often wearing masks. This strategy not only protected the identity of his models, many of whom were friends, but also contrasted with his better-known portrait work during this period, which he did to make money. Many of the photographs comically equate practices of everyday life and consumerism (washing dishes, taking a shower, driving a car) with forms of bondage and discipline.

In exploring S-M through an aesthetic and performative lens, DeSana joined a long history of twentieth-century avant-gardes that engaged with these practices in order to compel debate on freedom of expression and power.

Combined with the right information fed to all viewers around the world, it would make a difference in saving countless species of animals from extinction. It would break many age-old tales, legends, myths, hearsay and traditions from polluting otherwise gullible minds in a painfully sensationalized society. Media has the power to inspire us, change our perceptions, it has the power to draw empathy not apathy. Media can show the many beautiful reasons why this world is worth saving . . . from man. - Vince Maestro @maestro320 • I'm ending this post with a beautiful quote from Wendell Berry • " We have lived our lives by the assumption that what was good for us would be good for the world. We have been wrong. We must change our lives so that it will be possible to live by the contrary assumption, that what is good for the world will be good for us. And that requires that we make the effort to know the world and learn what is good for it." - Wendell Berry • Happy Birthday Caelynn Colleen Christensen @ccolleen1513 🎂🎁🎹🎶🎼 (at Planet Earth, Milky Way Galaxy) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAKfw_HJbur/?igshid=1vb4zed1t2p8l

The braver side of Fashion Photography, with Chienjo Omondi.

“One of the biggest challenges as a Fashion Photographer in Kenya; is getting locations to shoot in especially within our cities. Nairobi, for an instance, is antagonistic to photogragraphers because turning on a camera will either get you arrested or be the precurser to liability; for failure to obtain a shooting permit or a relevant license.”CHIENJO OMONDI , 2022.
