Leaning Tower of Pisa

Being forced to take exposure photos with landmarks in the composition

What You Need

  • Smartphone

Method

In this training task, you will take masochistic photos incorporating landmarks, similar to tourists taking photos that appear to be supporting the Leaning Tower of Pisa.

Choose a landmark in your area that can be seen from a distance.
For example, in Tokyo, this might be Tokyo Tower or Skytree.

Set up a shooting location where people won't come by.
It can be in your room if the landmark is visible from there, but if you're seeking more excitement, you might use the emergency stairs of a building that forms a blind spot.

At the shooting location, remove your clothes to expose your chest, arch your back, and thrust your chest upward.
Using the camera timer, take a photo with the composition making it appear as if the landmark is resting on top of your chest.
Naturally, you'll need to retake the photo multiple times before getting it right, but during this time, you are forbidden from covering your exposed chest.
Continue until you get a photo with the perfect composition.

If you always report with images, you may of course hide your face, but please send the ridiculous masochistic photo.
For advanced exhibitionists, you might also remove your lower garments and add a vulgar spread-legged pose for added interest.

Points to Note

Is there a specific name for the act of taking photos with compositions that make it look like you're holding, supporting, or trying to eat architectural structures?
While carefree tourists do this for fun, you, as a masochist, are forced to do it as a dangerous exposure game.

If you don't finish the photo quickly, someone might come by.
The countdown of the timer will feel frustratingly slow as you rush.
Enjoy the feelings of impatience and masochistic pleasure.
