OK, fine - very direct, but why is the lighting the very reverse of flattering? I've seen better lighting and light quality in subway and police stations. I'm sure it's a choice, but why bother with such an inexhaustable subject when you're going to ignore making photos that are remarkable for level of quality instead of nudity of model? Cold, clinical and asexual light - yeah, that's not working.
I've also seen better imagery involving the 'worst' photos of Ms Lunch, who speaks so highly of this work. Well, as Kern's an obvious inlfluence on this, but why not Helmut Newton, if only for the lighting?
It's the white cotton that makes them look younger and me feel like a perv for looking. When they are spread-eagled with their ass and ...... exposed I'm not shamed. Then it's just another cheese pose. More technicolor junk posing as art from Nerve.

Lydia Lunch is Featured in Dave's first book "Lust Circus"
Nice connection between intimacy, personal comfort zone and the strength of openly being sexual.
Great to see punk rock goddess Lydia Lunch writing for you!!!
You should try to see if someone could SHOOT HER; she's HOT, and BEAUTIFUL and was a NERVE-type MODEL before you all even had site!!!!
"These photos demand a rebellious return to worshipping the real power of real women..."? Please! These photos are simply silly.

Anyone else share the opinion that some of these girls look frighteningly YOUNG?
Cute girls in non-obvious poses and no make up. Well executed!
hey, i like it. too much headscratching and you'll end up with a bald spot -- this works on a visceral level. keep up the range.
