Jan Saudek



I came across this photographer while working on the ident projects.
The Czech photographer is well know on the international scene for his moraly degrading exhibitions.
His pictures stand out due to the amount of sexual content in them. The backgrounds he uses are often morbid (like a scratched wall in the basement). He does not choose models from a model agency. He mainly focuses on the natural beauty of people, that some might conider as ugly. What I like the most is his attitude towards the mainstream (which apparently does not exist). There is always a story behind a photo. His courage and vivid imagination make him a unique photographer.
Freakshow-Insane and vivid
                                                        Perfect choice of tones (Hard light) 
                                                 An incredible scenery and a strong message
                                                                             behind it.
                                                     This one reminds me of Bill Brandt.
                                        One the first plan -the arse. Reminds me of a painting
                                       There is more I would like to show from him. I am not sure
                                                               if this is a happy or a sad photo.
