Re: OT - over-photoshopped kids
It's a good think gmail doesn't overflow easily... I'm way behind on the posts... :-( Becky Carter's old site may not have been kiddy porn, but it became a site that everyone liked to hate for a good reason. Did some googling just now, and she has indeed pulled down her site. Instead, she's put up a blog: http://www.photoartbyrebecca.blogspot.com/ Where it looks like she's trying to diversify her career a little bit. But I googled some of the other names featured in the link that Anthony posted (http://www.twistedgrafix.com/winashoot/supremes.html) And if you want your neck hairs to stand out, have a look at this: http://www.tonioverby.com/Photos.php As someone said, this style of portraiture is obviously not created by one particular photographer... :-( Btw, I just ran the above site past my 11 year old daughter She commented that they all looked like porcelain dolls, not real kids.
