  1. that's a really edgy video.
    received some nice advice, but some of those images were really creepy. but i guess that was the intent of the artist, to shock and provoke and get a reaction. (Thumbs up!!)

  2. Wow! Another wonderful and educational video. Love your work. One challenge for every photographer is developing artistic talent. Thank You….

  3. this is not art…and is not a photography is just a pervert vision of a pervert person..you dont exprime nothing is just a picture quantificated by idiot like you art..what deas mean art? art is a creation that everythink doesn't not exist..what you show is hate and is old like the world…

  4. Realmente, no me gustó para nada. Su tema es totalmente enfermizo mental, psicológicamente loco. A pesar que la técnica fotográfica artística me parece interesante. Pero, la presentación temática es totalmente FATAL!!!

  5. If you refer twisted black and white photos as being art, it's only a small fragment of what is out there. Art comes in so many shades and shapes for every mind to appreciate. Your mind is artistic and dark and…you do it well!

  6. MACABRE style … very easy to make.. I'm saying as an artist.. I was in "it" and loved the provocative shock- trauma as a message… BUT not anymore the main idea is really what would u like to give as a message .. WT fillings … and how the viewer will stay later on in his state of mind…

  7. You MIGHT be an artist if you find some people who look weird, steal their situations and put it on film. This is no different than walking into a garden and photographing the flowers in an interesting manner but then you'd lose all that "art" of making it all black and white. I agree with another commentator on here, so pretentious.
