do not take it so personal.
Karl is a true artist, but for me art is a word that sums up lots of ugly things, created by many people who call themselves artists.
I guess Karl takes too many photos every day and he can try to make such strange ugly images.
It is my personal opinion and I see nothing in those images, but ugliness.
The photographers and the artists are NOTHING without the models, so I can use the same arguments against your opinion, so let's not be mean.
and why do we have to coimpaire studio images on a white background with anything. You should not copaire things, it is very funny to say this is better than this. It will be only your personal opinion.
Art should not be judged at all, but those Numero photos are not ART for me. They are some ugly trials of a very talented photographer.
His similar attempts with the same effects with Karen Elson in 1997 were much better, which can be close to art, but this crap is no art to me, it is just plain ugly.
I do love the photographer and I do love all the models appearing in the editorial. i have seen them all in real and it is a shame they take part in such an ugly project!
