Dark and sometime macabre side of photography

[Chris Dodkin]

I found this website of Jolie Clifford's work gripping and disturbing at the same time.

It's certainly very thought provoking, and will no doubt have a 'Marmite' effect on viewers.

I know a few dark buggers on here that'll probably love it!

[Paul Lange]

Or do an image search for Joel-Peter Witkin!!

 

[Pete Askew]

Wasn't he featured in the Vile Bodies series. Interesting stuff!

 

[Paul Lange]

He may have been, I just remembered his work from uni, from a long tim ago. I think he used cadivers from Mexico as it's legal to use them with the families consent.

 

[Pete Askew]

That's right, I looked him up and he was in the documentary as well. All very strange!

I'm not really sure where I stand viewpointwise on this guy. It seems he's one of those who was trying to be too clever for his own good. No matter how much you dress it up it still boils down to doing something shocking for the point of it in a very brutish way.
