What is it that might actually validate this work as noteworthy or photographically relevant? Stylistically he is identical to what made Richardson famous and I think the concept is an afterthought or the excuse for the vulgarity (which really isn't as subversive as it once was, especially when propagated for it's own sake) and in the end, as a viewer, all you are really asked to is buy his stuff instead of being challenged find new ways of perception. Depraved consumerism under the guise of conceptual culture.... at least that's how I see it...( I welcome anyone to seriously challenge these viewpoints as the only way to further artistic progress or benefit from controversy is debate and discussion, not buying t-shirts) really? can anyone tell this emperor is naked? this dude was terry richardson’s assistant for at least the past 4 or 5 years, probably longer.
