The Towel series are a collection of people photographed holding a towel to hide their modesty. The lighting is very effective to show the muscled bodies and soft body lines.
The photograph of Courtney Love that was used by VMagazine I really like, the makeup applied to the face of Courtney Love is bright and applied in a simple and smudged way that makes the viewer focus in on her eyes to see if she has been hurt or not.
