David Rolin's photostream  

I have been doing fine art photography professionally for nearly 25 years. I shoot, primarily, in-studio but sometimes work on location. The overall theme of my work is The Essential Feminine. I explore this thesis within the context of contemporary social taboo, gender issues, personal rituals and more. Each shoot seeks to examine these issues through the commentary unique to that particular individual (subject). I consider the shoot to be a singular life event during which I seek to find the creative resonance between the subject and myself. I work with both male and females in a collaborative, boundary sensitive and non-judgemental process.
