the following images may be a bit disturbing...but its better to look at images and feel something than feel nothing at all.

Long before Lady GaGa hit the scene with her infamous meat dress, I shot this meat series featuring models Makin Curry, Sarah Caroline, and Courtney Steele. I shot Makin Curry @ Next Models NYC  first...attempting to create a set of images that would really help him stand out at castings. Unfortunately the agency never included the images in his book. They wanted to keep his presentation as commercial and safe as possible. Most agencies aren't quick to stand behind images that push the envelope because they don't want to offend the client or stir controversy. My style of shooting leans more toward artistic and less towards "fashion"...."fashion" is more about selling and using art to sell products. I'm more interested in using art and style to say something about our society and how we view the world today.

I decided to include models Courtney Steele@301 model mgmt. and Sarah Caroline @ Images in this series meat shots...
