Joel peter witkin




I choose these because they are real this artist uses dead bodies in his photography and mutilates them and puts them together in still lives of dead lives. this artist is now residing in mexico because of the laws in america. I think these show how sensitive humans are to death and decomposing back into the earth. this artist is not afraid to express what he sees no matter how morbid and disgusting it is, in the eyes of the beholder and these found their way being very popular in the photography world.
