Sexy silver robot

The future is stark. The future is brash. The future is a selfie of sorts reflected in metallic breasts.

    I will always prefer the more organic Nihonjin ladies.

      Yes, as much as I enjoy technology and gadgetry, something like this is probably a little too much to, erm, fully embrace.

    Beautiful shot Lee, can I assume a museum? Very well framed also.

      Thank you very much.

      It was at an exhibition. Paintings in one room, and this figure in the other. Alone and life-sized, it made for quite a striking sight.

    Lady robots must wear bras.

      I think lady robots will do whatever they want, and we’ll do exactly what they tell us to…

    Oh, that must be from Sorayama-san, right? It may feel weird nowadays, but it was strikingly fresh back in the 70’s. Still great, if a bit dated, aesthetically.

      Yes, it is. It was part of an exhibition of his work. The drawings didn’t do a great deal for me to be honest, but this figure was really striking.

    Sexy! 🙂
    Great composition and I know that it wasn’t your doing, but the white wall and the lighting are perfect for this shot!

      Cheers. Yes, luckily I didn’t have to do a great deal at all. It was all very kindly set up!

    Ah, how many of us had that issue of Heavy Metal?

    It immediately evokes a certain period of time for me.

      I wasn’t even aware of that. Thanks for mentioning it. Interesting to see, especially as the search produced a lot of other images/artwork too.

    Wow! I thought I’d loaded up the wrong site for a moment there. Fantastically crisp photograph. And what a figure. So shiny. Someone must have the job of keeping her polished.
    I have an Aerosmith album somewhere with a similar “gynoid” by Sorayama on it.
    Reminds me of a Spongebob episode where everything in the future is made of chrome.
    I can see that Daft Punk must be influenced a little by him too.

    Judging by your reflection in her breasts you had the room to yourself.
    Hmm, that’s a phrase that may never have been used before…

      Something a bit different, eh?

      Yes, seems like a lot of people were influenced by him. To be honest, he wasn’t somebody I was aware of, but after seeing his work, I realised it all seemed somehow very familiar.

      Haha, yes, not a sentence one uses everyday! A few people passed through, but most of the time I had the room to myself, which allowed me to get the shot I wanted.
