some disturbing, some are visions of overkill. The idea fascinates, after a while it gets old.
Well done.
I had a cross dresser living here for a while. One of the scariest things I've ever witnessed is two "dressed up" (wo)men fight.
Thanks for the memories.

...only for a few minutes. After that, they're all basically the same picture and beyond the fourth or fifth one they start getting boring and repetitive.

Not to be harsh, but it's bad enough to copy somebody else's clichés, but to copy one's own clichés seems redundant.

There is certainly a bit of one shotness about the series and possibly it's because we live in a we'll fix it in post mindset where the shot could pulled off easily in photoshop.

Combine that with the fact that the real artistry of the shots take place in the makeup chair and quite frankly has less to do with the photographer beyond technical compitance and a nifty concept.

I do have to commend him on his ability to roll this pebble down the hill and make a boulder out of it, nice marketing.
