The Full Body Shot and the Event of Dressing

I'm not sure whether I may have mentioned this before, but one of the things I see lacking in transvestite/crossdresser self-portraits are cropped shots. By cropped shots, I mean everything BUT full-body shots. Certainly websites have "full-body shots only" policy for their profile pictures are not helping the aesthetic cause and the art of the transvestite self-portrait.

But I think the greater problem lies in the event of dressing. Most transvestites are not 24/7 and do not live full time. So this means they don't dress often enough for dressing to be a non-event. By the time many go through all the trouble of dressing, they want to document what all that trouble has gone to. As a result, the full body shot.

I do it too. But I'm planning on changing that. The art of luxury is in discarding a good portion of useable materials. This creates space. Cramming every fuctional nook and cranny with information makes the composition suffocate.

Think about this the next time you take a picture.
