Witkin says his work ideas come from when he had seen a girl who had been decaputated in a car accident when he was a child. His family having problems and his parents divorcing he claims also have been a huge influence.
His work is very different, and some of it is extremely graphic. There has been debates on wheather or not his work is acceptable, or if its too upsetting and judgmental.
(Above): He had done a series of work including dwarfs. He feels his work is very expressive.
(Above): One of his most famous photographs, is a photograph of two men's heads kissing. Almost disturbing and indifferent, this photograph also caused much controvery.
Pretty tough stuff. Thanks for the great post.
