Hm. I don't know what it is, but his photos don't seem right to me.

?

Hm. I don't know what it is, but his photos don't seem right to me.

How do you mean, don't seem right. That is pretty vague...

 

[kahlilg]

Well, looking at his photos more, I think it's his use of lighting. The shadows and the highlights don't seem to be contrasted in an appeasing way. Like in post #2. And it doesn't seem like he's doing it on purpose even if he is.

Seems to have images at the 5th Festival of Fashion Photography in Cannes and had an editorial in "PHOTO" magazine that talked about being a "Master in Lighting"

Here is the article and image from the Cannes Festival...

Oh ... and I have a question about the skull images. Is that mostly makeup with some post ... or was it all done in post? Who was the makeup artist? Love it ... but it is a bit disturbing.

It is meant to have a paradigm shifting effect on the viewer..Therefore "Vanity"
