Tasya van Ree Part 2: Les hommes

So in Part 1 of my Tasya van Ree post, I focused on the women of van Ree's perspective. This week, I'm turning my gaze to the man. Van Ree approaches the male subject differently than she does the female. Unlike the bold, uninhibited playfulness of the sprightly ladies, the men are more stern, more mysterious, more laconic in their expressiveness. The majority are photos of men lounging around - being men - or portraits of men in their conveniently complacent surroundings.

 

Stay tuned next week for Part 3: Women + Men!

Tasya van Ree Part 1: Les femmes

So my girl crush continues...except now I suspect there's a bit of transference from Amber Heard onto her artist/photographer girlfriend, Tasya van Ree. This is honestly the hottest couple I've ever seen.

Amber's a gorgeous blonde sex kitten and Tasya is a totally hot, cool alternative chick. If lesbians could procreate, their children would be little stunners. The boys wouldn't stand a chance.

This post focuses on Tasya's photography on women. I don't know much about photography but I love the playful, voyeuristic aspect about them; it seems as if Tasya celebrates rather than denigrates the gaze. Nudes are meant to be gawked at an admired.

You'll also notice that several of the photos feature Amber in them.

Girl Crush ♥ Amber Heard

I'm crushing hard on Amber Heard these days, which works out for me since she's into girls as well. 
Unfortunately for me (and my boyfriend), she's in a long term relationship with photographer Tasya van Ree - more on her later).

Heard, whom I remember as Lila Archer, the Hollywood starlet in the first season of Criminal Minds who crushes on Matthew Grey Gubler, and Jesse Eisenberg's neighbour-cum-love-interest-turned zombie, #406 in Zombieland, appears in the new movie, Drive Angry with Nicolas Cage, and also in an upcoming movie with Leighton Meester (my other current girl crush).

I think she's incredibly hot and I love that she's a lesbian and championer of gay rights. Read her interview with GLAAD here.
