5 Images I find objectionable

This image looks like a failed Robert Mapplethorpe copy. In short it creeps me out but doesn't make me think.

Image from C magazine, Canberra Centre, Autumn 2010.


This image to me is just un'real'istic. It seems like a poor quality copy of golden age of fashion photography picture. It's in the context of ideal body image so it says thing (unintended or not) about how woman should look.

Image from Women's Health & Fitness, Vol 15, No. 8, 2009.

Another unrealistic picture, I understand it's a joke but even so it's placing unrealistic expectations on the male physic.

Okay, we want a shot of a naked lady to advertise our new magic shampoo. but we don't want her to have any genitalia. Photoshop in some extra thigh. Why not shoot it properly in the first place?
