Monroe’s Last Nudes Lohan Redux
MONROE’S LAST NUDES LOHAN REDUX
Looking at the New York Magazine Nude Lohan prints, as an artist who’s taken many reference photoshoots, I felt the pictures only told half the story. I needed to see how they compared to the original Marilyn shots and which Marilyn photos were used for reference. Just seeing the Lohan photos didn’t give me any perspective.
I painstakingly (it was fun) went through the original Bert Stern / Monroe “the last sitting” shot-by-shot and figured out (to my best guess) which pictures he referenced for the Lohan shoot. (see below)
How Lohan was able to take poses and expressions that are fun and alive in 1962 and make them look so dull and contrived in 2008 is amazing. Probably the one time when a little champagne tumble off the sobriety wagon would have been a good career move. . .

125 Magazine states that they are the only magazine in the world, which acts as a completely unbiased photography gallery, open to both emerging and established artists, and making affordable art available to all. That’s just awesome. Use the search field at the bottom left corner to search what you’re looking for (in this case, “sex” or “art”!).

It is not common when I encounter an artist and think, “Okay, I clearly don’t understand all the good things going on here, but there is more talent in front of me than I have the ability to comprehend.”

Agatha Moon: Italian Fetish Model
LINK quote [While attending my very first fetish party in London, I realized how attracted I was by the "choreography" of situations. I regret not having snaped a lot of fascinating details, like a thin cord winding slender wrists and the signs left on them. I find so amusing wearing latex and leather dresses, breath-taking corsets and high heeled shoes! It's like acting, playing a rôle. I can feel emerging a sort of alter ego, usually hidden behind the everyday natural make-up or under my jeans. I can explore my darkly glamorous persona. I love posing in fetish garments, acting out fantasies in front of the camera, recreating myself].

The Mofo’s photos
LINK quote [You've probably seen a lot of bloggers and other artsy types who post a photo of themselves every single day for a year so that they can very slowly document the long, cold march of time as it descends slowly into the grasp of Death's grim embrace. (Maybe that's just our take.) Well, thankfully at least one of these web shutterbugs—the colorfully named "Mofo"—has decided that rather than look at some lonely dude sitting in his bedroom for one year straight, folks would probably rather see photos that he's taken of 365 hot chicks in various states of undress. Guess what? He's 100% right].

LINK quote [While we commend Diaz Arri and/or the staff at Barcelona's Agencia SIC for reminding us that glamour nude photography is about more things than just pert pairs of breasts or juicy asses stuffed into frilly lace panties—like proper oral hygiene—we needs must take issue with the fact that the exotic-looking model shown brushing her teeth in several photographs in the "Narrow Nudes" section (whatever that means) is doing so while kneeling at a bidet: all that crouching on a hard tile floor in front of a porcelain device ordinarily reserved for washing other parts can be murder on the knees].

Artist Statement :
My photography is more about the people than anything. Without the people, there are no photos. Over the past year I have been fortunate to meet and learn about some of the most real people possible. I’ve shot in multi-million dollar homes as well as the poorest project houses around. I learn from every experience. A thank you to those who I have met along the way, and for those I am yet to meet, I look forward to it.
Blessings

I didn’t write this…but really dig this artist…
They get high, get naked, and jump on trampolines. They skinny-dip in mountain lakes and stare searchingly at themselves in bathroom mirrors. They giggle and hug. They shoplift and puke and crash together on dingy mattresses on the floor. They are the cool, giddy, beautiful young things who populate the pictorial world of photographer Ryan McGinley.
