Her work is dramatic, heavily stylised and makes extensive use of make up and Photoshop. Much of it is dark in mood, gothic or even vampiric (is that a word??) and certainly won't be to everyone's taste. I find her creativity extraordinary. Start with her self portraits if you like. http://www.pbase.com/dosis/image/109795357 Or look here for something like 1000 different model studies, from the sublime to the disturbing. just amazing work. http://www.pbase.com/cseayphotography/your_picture_of_the_day_winners_gallery 2009/3/21 Lawrence Zeitlin <lrzeitlin at optonline.net> > The problem of altered images has bothered scientists as well as fashion > aware health professionals.
