I was getting my morning dose of The Online Photographer and was led to this image which I find marvelously appealing. Julie Blackamon has got to be a distant cousin or maybe even a lineal descendant of Charles Addams.
Here's a link to her website. Treat yourself to a good laugh and some very impressive work. IMNSHO.
I looked through most of the stuff on her site... I was impressed. It reminds me of what Man Ray might do for a family portrait :) Unique is good, and she does a nice job with that.
They always benefit from a longer look, they're not your usual "pretty flower pot / wide eye baby macro" family stuff, they're much more interesting and quirky and fun to look at.
Interesting portfolio. I don't see anything wrong with her use of children as "props." Actually, this is the kind of quirky work I hoped to see more of in the current Fine Arts challenge.
