death, dwarfs, transexuals and hermaphrodites

Joel Peter Witkin - Master photographer of the dark, weird and wonderful.

Andrew Bruce does roadkill !

Andrew Bruce is a photographer that uses roadkill as his central theme which he see as a 'potent symbol of humanity's clash with nature'. He is so passionate about this topic he is compelled to create an art out of it, to in some way make sure that these animals didn't die in vain. I could write so much more about his work but I will leave it here, if you do want anymore information here is an interview he did for the Telegraph, it's definitely worth a read 

Why do women have smaller feet ?

 . . .  So they can get closer to the oven.

Whilst doing a bit of research for my art exam I stumbled across these sexist vintage advertisements. I can't believe they were ever published but just imagine the uproar they would create if published today. 

However have attitudes towards women really changed and/or have just been distributed to new  'minorities' ? 

Here's another babe of a website

Another programme I found was called toy camera analogue colour this one actually lets you be able to edit the photos yourself and it'f free again. Yippeeeee ! . I found you could get some quite good effects.

You can get a lot more effects than what I have done but I needed the darkness for a project I am doing at the moment. I would really recommend downloading this if you like old school style photography. Peace out x

Poladroid me !

 

I have found this brilliant programme on the internet called poladroid, which I downloaded for free. What it does is change your digital images to make them look like polaroid pictures, and they even develop like polaroid pictures so you can watch them gradually appearing on the film on your computer desktop. Here are some of my image result, aren't they fab ! 

Is Big Beautiful ?

This isn't your typical nude photo as generally this type of female body isn't seen as beautiful or desirable in our culture. However looking at this image I can't help but see its beauty. To me her body is like a work of art, with her skin being the canvas which has been lovingly inked on.

Just to add one more thing, I wish my skin was as perfect as this.

Ellen Rogers. . . . wow !

Ellen Rogers is a london based photographer. All her work is done using analogue cameras. They are so magical and eerie I am so happy to have found her work. I am in love !
