Proper art photography might drive me to drink!
February 14th, 2010 by admin
Probably the thing I would most like to do is to become a photographer. Not a normal photographer, if you will, but rather someone like Joel-Peter Witkin. Someone who really challenges the thoughts of the viewer/observer. His methods for getting the right composition may have been questionable – even illegal – in the US, but his photos are amazing. Morbid and thought-provoking. I’m not sure I could stomach the kind of set up stuff he dealt with unless I was all tanked up on some serious absinthe thujone, but I bet it took him some time to get over the urge to puke every time he got a new severed body part on set. Goodness me- can you imagine the smell under studio lights!
