Wow, I've spent maybe 30min now thinking of a description for this set, and still I can't come up with words to describe how much fun and how much this set truly means to me. This set was done at a house I practically grew up in, and the room I shot in, was a room I wasn't allowed in because it was the owners daughters bedroom. The owner of the house is the founder of the "religion" I grew up in, so you can see why going in his or his family bedroom was a big NO. So, fast forward to the planning of this set, when I thought about where I'd like to do my next set and how, I thought I want to do something really honest, and then it automatically came to me, what's more honest than your beliefs? So I asked the person that's taking care of the house to do a shoot in the house. I got the ok to do so and once we set up got into the groove of it, we came out with this wonderful set.
SuicideGirls… became famous for embracing beauty in every shape and form — meaning bodies covered in tattoos, having bright-colored hair, and being outside of traditional beauty norms were celebrated. The name comes from the idea that women who commit “social suicide” by being different come together.
A nation wide art-sleaze phenomenon.
It’s like a punk rock Vogue…with artful nude photos of women.
Fifteen years ago, a small-but-passionate community that celebrated beauty in alternative, pinup-style photography was born. It was called SuicideGirls.
They’re the girls next door - but more colorful and with better record collections.
SuicideGirls respond… in the best way possible.
The meeting place for people interested in alternative lifestyles.
SuicideGirls is as much about community as it is about naked photos of tattooed women.
SuicideGirls is redefining concepts of beauty across the globe.
