‘TAKO_TOUCH’ by DORIS_N
PRIMARY - 24 DEC 2014
"The feeling of unknown flesh in precarious places is how a live octopus feels draped on your skin. It's much harder than it seems to get an octopus to stick to you, it's still pretty slimy even in the afterlife. I really enjoyed the texture, it feels just like someone else's skin so it's not that foreign of a feeling to have touching you. The smell is however, very different to human skin! It's beautiful to notice how the octopus changed color as the shoot went on, it became a whole new entity with every picture! I love pushing boundaries with normality and shooting with a real octopus is something I often daydreamed about. Some girls dream of ponies, I dream of sea slugs!"
