Response to My current fetish: Michel Comte

Shawn, Thes images don't look like either 1) what you described or 2) the "personality" pics (thumbnails only, as of now) on his website. These girls seem to be portrayed as junkie love slaves. The red smears imply the menstrual thing (what is this... a trend?) like these girls haven't washed up yet after a rousing good time (pay per veiw?).

His light seems very simple (adequate but not inspirational) and the sets are sort of offhand (deliberate but not illuminating... like... Why?) implying crash pads or the kidnapper's lair, and some of the girls look like concentration camp survivors (the various [inconsistent] palettes help with this, skin tones and sheen like used latex).

Tell me more about what's to aspire to, here? This is kind of combined Helmut Newton and Jan Soudek but it has the slick contrivance of commerce in spite of itself, whereas Newton's is so deliberate and Soudek is so anti-. I'll go back to his website when it's finished and try again. At this point he looks like a fashion photographer who wants to be an artist but can't get away from the skinny girl sex thing ("how vacuous, manipulated and stupid can I make these girls look, without making them go away?"). I got some of the message from the polywog-a-ding dong, but I wish I was fluent, I might get a clue... t
