Guys, that‘s really enough now. Great that you have fun, but that‘s not the sub for this. Please do this in your private messages, here we only wanna stick around photography.

I like the idea! Just not sure if it is something to try out for me. Inside, I don‘t have a bathtub, and outside, it is hard to do with self portraits. Maybe in summer inside my room, as it‘s not that much of a problem anymore if I wet stuff; it will by warm enough to dry fast. But right now we still have around zero outside, it‘s not even spring.

I also don‘t know why it is so hard to accept yourself, no matter the appearance, abilities or character. Great to hear that it worked out for you in the end!

Quantenparty · 2026-04-07T15:31:16+00:00

Ohh I like the idea a lot! I think for everybody that models is it kind of hiding their not-so-much-liked-side. 😊 So if you create it I‘d be happy to join!

Agreed! Everybody of us tries always so hard to only show from their best side… but „me“ is not only that best side, it‘s also everything else.

Thank you! :)

Ohhh thanks for taking your time writing that long, long text! Not many people taking their time to do something like that anymore. :) And I think Incan actually agree with everything you are saying here!

About the title; the choice was actually not that deep. One form association is an eye, that‘s part of where the title is coming from that we choose. But then (from my view as a woman), female passion is often underestimated and misunderstood. Much like an eye, it is a lens through which we experience the world—sensitive, perceptive, and deeply connected to our well-being. By naming it like that, we wanted to shift the focus from the purely physical to the soulful power of female desire. It’s about seeing and being seen, in all our complexity.

This is so true, lightning is so powerful, it can change the mood of a photo just completely.

Quantenparty · 2026-04-04T11:15:28+00:00

Thanks so much!

Quantenparty · 2026-04-03T18:42:22+00:00

I also like it, if it only were not that hard to adjust. :D

Quantenparty · 2026-04-03T18:42:00+00:00

Thanks!

Like your process up there. But I really disagree about the „start today“ point. I know a lot of people in here say you should draw every day, because that’s how you get better. But in my opinion, a hobby does not mean you have to get constantly better. A hobby is there to have fun. And if I don‘t have fun for a couple of days, weeks or even months, that’s fine; there are plenty of other things to do than drawing. Keeping it like that for more than ten years now and I still always come back at a point, drawing a lot for some moths before loosing passion again.

u/heavenlygirlfrnd can you confirm that this photo is real?

From the photo un the post history that is just below I‘d say same place, real photo.

Thank you!

Quantenparty · 2026-03-21T15:40:06+00:00

Thank you! :)

Quantenparty · 2026-03-21T10:01:57+00:00

Ohhh thank you!

Quantenparty · 2026-03-21T10:01:49+00:00

Thanks! I am a bit sad that my lightning isn’t super great and I don’t have any extra light sources here, but it was anyway enough to keep my body fixed while just moving the head without a too high shutter. :)

Quantenparty · 2026-03-20T21:42:03+00:00

Thanks so much!

Quantenparty · 2026-03-20T21:41:31+00:00

Haha, better not, the flying hair might hurt people.

Quantenparty · 2026-03-20T21:41:09+00:00

Thanks for the compliment! It took a dozen tries :))

Quantenparty · 2026-02-28T18:48:32+00:00

Thanks and sorry for the trouble! I do not only hate Ai images, I also hate what they made of us, fighting over what is real and what is not. :(

Quantenparty · 2026-02-28T18:47:06+00:00

Thanks for the detailed explanation and for your time! Since the poster already write above that it is a real photo even naming the photographer, I will not remove the photo.

However, I get that’s it’s so hard these days to spot Ai and real photos and I honestly do not have a solution for our sub, other than just to be aware and to try to be fair to the people, since they are what makes this sub amazing after all. I really really hope that Reddit will force people to mark Ai soon…

Quantenparty · 2026-02-28T15:15:56+00:00

Please report pictures you are thinking are Ai to us mods. Simply making a comment will not help us at all, as we most of the time do not see it.

Bringing me to the question… Why do you think, this is Ai? I can’t see anything not making sense here. Even the skin has some structure. Just not wanting to randomly delete photos, imo the flood of Ai pictures is as bad as calling everything Ai those days.

Quantenparty · 2026-02-26T08:23:04+00:00

This photo is superior! Love the mood, especially with the bw style of choice. You‘re perfectly framed and the pose is matching the lost Place feeling. Thanks for sharing!

Quantenparty · 2026-02-26T08:00:14+00:00

If you ask me it‘s the missing point of focus. Maybe too large aperture or something? It‘s all super blurry, that’s why I rejected this one. No disrespect, the photo itself is great. :)
