Canadian photographer Bruce LaBruce ignites fury in Spain with “Obscenity”

Bruce LaBruce Obscenity
Controversial Canadian photographer Bruce LaBruce’s latest exhibition in Spain has sparked outrage among Catholics and conservatives in Madrid, who have denounced it as blasphemous. The exhibition is called “Obscenity” and features photos of kinky nuns in lingerie and tattooed Christs.

After the opening of LaBruce’s show this week, Catholic Group AES called for a demonstration “against blasphemy” outside the gallery on Friday, “in defence of our Christian roots and the Catholic faith”.

The 50 images in the exhibition include an image the popular Spanish/Mexican singer Alaska as a sexy saint with a communion wafer on her tongue, while in another she hugs a tattooed Christ to her breast in a kinky tribute to Michelangelo’s “Pieta” sculpture.

Matt Barnes discusses pro-bono work for MADD

MADD campaign by Matt BarnesIn this post on A Photo Editor Toronto photographer Matt Barnes discusses his pro-bono work for MADD with Suzanne Sease.

I am a true believer of doing pro-bono work, because it is not only for a great cause, but it is usually the most creative work. Why wouldn’t you want your signature on it. I found this campaign in Ads of the World (where I find a lot of my material) and not only loved the message but the way Matt Barnes shot it.
