The Betrayal by susale

The Betrayal

Oh the oblivious bliss when you are totally unaware that your friend has set her eyes on your boyfriend.

Not quite the shot I aimed for but it will have to do. In these kind of story shots it´s - at least for me- all about the expressions and body language that makes the story come to live. I had all those, unfortenately all in different shots, in this one I have 2 out of 3. The blond, who was very reluctant to participate in this btw, has the perfect seductive smile I think and the girlfriend has very peaceful obvilious expression and still looks absolutely beautiful, as she is of course. I only wish I could have had more emotions shown on boyfriend´s face, but he -very understandably- had a hard time giving those looks to another girl while holding his real girlfriend in his arms. As they say, if you can´t beat it, use it. So instead of using the story I originally had in mind, I´m going with the flow and taking this the way it seams to be; the first seeds of seduction just being planted.

The story may continue if I can have my models to participate, all kinds of bribery will be used to make that happen.

The boyfriend was not harmed in any way during these shots, if we don´t count the emotional damage done by having to flirt with his girlfriend´s sister but I think he´ll live.
@janim Here´s one story for you, I don´t know is this what you had in mind but these are the kind of stories I have a need to create nevertheless, and yes there are more of these to come but I need models for them so it all depends on me having them at my disposal

Works for me!
October 20th, 2013  
@hane Yes is does work for me too but there were better expressions on bf´s face on other shots, so I know there could have been more clear mutual addraction to shown here.
October 20th, 2013  
@hane And bytheway welcome back honey .)!!!
October 20th, 2013  
Wow Suse! Are you playing with fire? Excellent story and shot! Be carefull!
October 20th, 2013  
@gmost Oh not me, it´s just a story. Thank you Glen!
October 20th, 2013  
Really excellent shot. I love the ones that tell stories and make you wonder what happened next. This is very good and well done on getting the models to pose for you.
October 20th, 2013  
@mercuria Thank you Ariel. I think it´s pretty obvious what happens next here...I do hope I can get these to model me some more, I know the girl is a willing model but the fb and the blond are not so in to these.
October 20th, 2013  
Oh my. What a sad, powerful story you tell.
October 20th, 2013  
@kaesebiscuit You know me, it´s the sad stories that evoke emotions in me, and I want to explore and use those emotions to create something out of them. Happiness I want in real life, sadness and sorrow I need to create my "art"
October 20th, 2013  
Love an image with a story and this works really well. Great in B&W too.
October 20th, 2013  
Cool a whole little world in this shot .
October 20th, 2013  
Very cool beginning of a story.... now I'm very intrigued to see how this continues... you don't necessarily have to show faces to imply the flirting, the temptation... hands touching, maybe shadows on the wall... silhouettes... that could make it easier for the models too ? Anyway, very cool shot and you're right, the blonde's expression is perfect for this. She's a talent...or maybe there's some truth to this story... ;-)
October 20th, 2013  
@janim Thank you Jani very much. Hey those are all great suggestions, I think I could use those....and I think I will! Wow, you´re giving me so much inspiration here, thank you! After being unispirated so long, that´s huge huge thing for me. Yeah, the story does continue if my models agree to it, the blond is the most reluctant one, she really didn´t want to do this and her part is so essential to the story...but I could replace her. Oh there is no trueth in this ( I hope!!!), don´t even say that :D! You know, of course I though about that, what this does to my models emotionally and aspecially to her, she´s only 14 years old. I feel little bad making her do something like this, but she does have her own boyfriend so I guess I couln´t have done anything very distructive here, they are just looks, right. No harm in those, is there.... You know Jani, I´m happy to make these stories happen, so if you have any suggestions about what you´d wish to see, a story, a part of a story I could work on, I would be happy to try to make that happen for you. But I must warn you those, my "art" is created out of sad & dark feelings, I don´t work with happiness, it does not inspire me to create anything.

These stories are wonderful, the photos speak a thousand words. I didn't need any text to tell me what was going on. Great shot Suse and well done to the willing models
October 20th, 2013  
@susale hahaha I'm sure she's going to survive this photo shoot without any damage :) So you don't like happy stories so why not use that as the theme; create a super happy scene which is about to turn sad. Like a couple kissing on the street , piano falls on them :) another couple cuddling by the fireplace - axe murderer silhouette in the window ... My examples are a bit too out there maybe, but you got the idea...
October 20th, 2013  
I don't know if the boyfriend will survive when the girlfriend sees the shot!
October 20th, 2013  
Love this. Well done and I think very effective. I certainly saw the betrayal right away when I opened this up.
October 20th, 2013  
Well, this tells the story up to this point, but there are several things that could happen next. That's what I like about this, it's not as obvious as you think.
October 20th, 2013  
I think you've done a great job! love their expressions!
October 20th, 2013  
love the story ... honestlyfor me the picture painted the story really well...even without reading your narrative ... I am not sure I feel sorry for the guy though (not yet at least :)) ... lol ... !!
October 20th, 2013  
Zam
very nice setup I love the idea and the awesome result! fav
October 20th, 2013  
Very interesting concept and story...they are great participants! Beautiful models. :) I think art imitates life and I believe this story shows there is pain somewhere and needs closure...whether it is 15 years ago or 6 mos ago! This shot has got us thinking and making up stories in our heads haha...very well done my friend! Fav for feelings!
October 20th, 2013  
@mercuria Yes you´re right, it´s not obvious....it´s only obvious to me, co´s I know how my strory is going to end
October 20th, 2013  
@nanderson Thank you Nancy, yes indeed, I use a lot of my own experiences as a basis of my work so you´re not so wrong here either.
October 20th, 2013  
@virtualbrownie Lol, well she has seen it of course, I never put anybody´s pic in the internet without their approval.
October 20th, 2013  
Great story telling image! Well done!
October 20th, 2013  
@janim Oh it´s not that I didn´t like happy stories, of course I do and I´m very interested about happiness in my own life. It´s just that my creativity runs in deep waters, always has and most likely always will. It´s the same with writing, I need the sorrow, despair, jelousy and darkness to work something out., if I start with happiness I´ll end up with something dark anyway., it´s just the way I am. I like your idea and I´ll see if I can work something out so thank you Jani, it may take a little time but I will do this.
October 20th, 2013  
Wonderful story shot!
October 20th, 2013  
I have to fav this Suse ! Awesome idea & execution! Love the idea of "the story continuing" :-)
October 20th, 2013  
That's awesome short story! Great in b&w image!
October 21st, 2013  
Very evocative and intriguing. Well captured.
October 21st, 2013  
This certainly does tell a story. Both sisters are very beautiful, by the way, and I think the boyfriend does well, considering. Keep offering the bribes!
Oh, and this is a fav for me.
October 21st, 2013  
Ria
oh soap opera goodness:)
October 21st, 2013  
I think you have captured the emotion and story quite good!
October 21st, 2013  
Great storytelling and suspense. I'm looking forward to the next episode.
October 21st, 2013  
Your set-up and your analysis show deep insight!
November 26th, 2013  
Oh, I think you did get 3 out 3 because even before I read the explanation I thought, "uh-oh!".
