During my individual meeting, Paul suggested that I investigate symbiotic relationships that exist in nature as well as the relationships that exist between say a mother and child or a doctor and a patient. I will be examining the latter examples in this particular post.
Doctor / Patient
The doctor-patient relationship seems very delicate as far as touch goes. The practitioner's touch has to have a sort of neutrality to it that is careful not to belie any kind of tenderness or forcefulness that could present itself as suggestive behavior.
When I did a google image search, aside from finding an abundance of porn, I found a lot of images of doctors holding patients' hands in a comforting type of gesture, which is interesting to me.
Parent / Child
These images were all about embraces, kissing noses, touching heads, and the parent holding the child up in the air. There wasn't much variety, here, but it gave me some ideas like a cow tongue licking a forehead, but because that's such a common image (the cowlick and all) I'm really going to have to work with lighting and angles to achieve something wonderful.
