I am still reflecting on all the comments you have left here on this place, the good ones and the critical ones. Thank you for all of them.
I actually wanted to arrive at this point. To debate about the problematics of that kind of pictures. Because extreme thinness traditionally has become mostly the symptom for famine in the world, war, disease,and psychological sufferings.. but today there exists also Because our society has changed and there are a different ways to look at things.
I see my pictures also as a mirror of our society. Which is open for many directions and gives space and individuality to everyone to choose a particular lifestyle.As long no one else is put under pressure, exploited against his free will or forced into something.
Some may call this Decadency, others call it freedom of opinion. I show here a certain esthetics combined with a body-form that is unusual and maybe for most people abnormal. I think it is clear that it is not healthy to be hat thin. But the health issue is not the point. We do many other unhealthy things in life and everybody is free to choose his own way of living, lifestyle or philosophy to become happy with or not.
And please, do not try to sell any Burgers here, nobody eats that kind of junk. Not me and not the models.

Welcome WILKOMIRA
I have not done anything on my page for the last 7 years. I was busy with other works and it had also private reasons. This summer my friend Augusto Diamanti contacted me. He is the fashion designer and architect from Latina near Rome and with him I did also some shootings back in 2011 for his fashion together with our model ERIK A. Her pictures are on this page.
ERIK A today has a normal weight and is working with horses. Her absolute passion. Every day she is riding them through the open landscape of her home place in Slovenia.
Augusto this year so suggested, to do this summer another fashion together. The model he had already contac
about these pictures
I think I need to explain something, rearding the last set of fotos, which I posted. The model from "the cross" again is erik A, like in many pictures. The shooting took place on 21 and 22 march 2010 , when she was at her skinniest. In the meanwhile she gained some weight. All pictures from erik A on this page are the product of only 3 shootings. The first session took two days and was for the Augusto Diamanti fashion collection. Also the "cross" had been taken during these two days.
A second shooting took place at the models hometown for a half day on 21. May 2010,
and the 3rd shooting, the "carneval and black fairy" session lasted
About Passion, Pain and Beauty in a different way
I know, the picture that is drawn of the women here is extreme and does not match with any mainstream criteria of what is considered beautiful. Depending on the eye of the beholder, some might just feel horror and pain in seeing such thin creatures, might think about illness and eating disorders, feel to feed them and donate a burger. My excuse to them. Others instead, and I think it is the majority of the visitors, might experience, that they cannot turn away their eyes because of a certain fascination at second glance, as they begin to discover a beauty of a different kind, because of the esthetic concept these pictures here are composed
Carneval
By the way, "carne vale" means bye bye flesh ( or meat) in latin .
Off course the catholic celebration of eating up all the rest of remaining meat before starting the 40 days fasting period until easter , gets another meaning , when you watch all these pictures here.
Just playing with words a little bit.

Also, I forgot to mention. I also respect and appreciate the fact that you acknowledge that the condition of the models in the photographs is not healthy, while at the same time portraying the human body as a beautiful thing. It's wonderful that you are giving these models self confidence whereas most people would just shoot them down and tell them "you're disgusting, eat something already".
