great black and white photographers

I've always felt like the photographs had a sense of mean humor and sadness. the bare bodies have always intrigued me.

i see nude bodies, frozen in place. {left}-his shiny body and the backdrop create balance. {right}- his hair is in full blowout mode, his makeup speaks, converting him.

i smell sweat and soap. {left}-he seems sweaty and dirty from working. {right}-he seems permed, washed, perky, and ready to go.

i hear laughs from behind the camera. the photos must have been humorous, as most are.

i taste hairspray and oil. {left}- his bronzed body must have sweat and grime on it(oil). {right}-his hair must have been spray with chemicals from hairspray.

i feel like i know the subjects feelings{left}- he looks sad and lonely {right}- he looks unfit yet confident
