Reimar Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Very inspiring and creative, I would like to have the ability to take even a few images like that! Some of them are "taken". Most are "made". I too wish I had more interest in producing concepts like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Bell Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Just checked and he is not a forum member. Gives him more time to produce lovely images. Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a designer who studied art and design and learned photoshop before becoming, in Alamy's awful language, a 'shooter'. Interesting to compare with Elena Dorfman who is equally thought provoking in my view, but more subtle: http://www.alamy.com/galleries/Elena-Dorfman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 I like Sean Gladwell`s work very much. Sadly not keen on Elena Dorfman`s. Particularity the use of semi naked children. Also surprised Alamy allows pictures of semi nude children ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustydingo Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Love Dorfman's work, especially her portraiture (not represented on Alamy). Not as keen on Gladwell, although his imagination and technical skill with Photoshop is impressive. And I for one am not surprised, and fully support, that Dorfman's portfolio here hasn't been censored. dd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert M Estall Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 well, that is impressive: a lot of time on each image and no repeats or similars, so 8000+ is a really big body of work. A bit slick here and there perhaps, but we don't all do the same thing. I need a little lie down just thinking about how much work has gone into that collection. And he does loads of video as well!

DD, I would expect UK law applies here. I don't know what your national laws say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustydingo Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 our national laws wouldn't touch such trivia as mentioned above, although some would probably try to have it do so . . . what is illegal in Australia is the exploitative sexual depiction of minors. Bill Henson, prominent Australian photographer, has had exhibitions closed both here and, I think, in UK (forgive me if I'm wrong on the UK closure) . . . "they" tried to have him prosecuted over an exhibition once, even had the Aus Prime Minister, who later admitted never even seeing the work, describe it as disgusting and of no artistic merit . . . ah, the lure of cheap votes . . . but in the end the Classification Board deemed the images were not obscene and were suitable for viewing by kids under 16 with parental guidance. No charges of course. But still his work causes much angst to some. dd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
