Nigel Tomm

distorted and dissembled photography in which Nigel Tomm crumples up either parts of his own photography or parts of magazines and photographs with his own models. The reason why i have chosen to research and blog about his work is because similarly to last weeks photographers he is using magazine pictures of celebrities or 'ideal bodies' to show how we should look. 

through his photographs he is distorting the way women should look and trying destroy the image so many marketers and advertisers try to convey. 

Photograph above: This is one of my favourite images out of all his photographs. He is contrasted a magazine with his own photograph to show we are shown how to look Vs a live model. Particularly one of things that stands out for me the most is the way the women is positioned. It is something I could see being used to promote or sell a product, something i talked about last week through sexual fetishism. 

His photos offer an angle of how to look at womens bodies and how we are bombarded with magazine pictures of naked women in sexual positions.
