What’s so cool about her work are the stories she creates, cookie cutter Stepford wives get tied up with ropes, buried at the beach, smothered by big plastic beach balls and get slammed into trunks of old Cadillacs. These perfect lives where women keep the house and kids clean and shiny turn into dark moments filled with howling screams, wails and adultery. Peyton Place, Mad Men, L7 and Hitchcock all had an orgy and Nicola’s work was birthedMen, L7 and Hitchcock all had an orgy and Nicola’s work was birthed.

WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK?
Nicola Kuperus is a fashion photographer and musician based in Detroit, Michigan. Her work is often monochromatic, staging scenarios that are cold, dark and sterile; all very calculated and contrived. Models cropped in stiff and awkward positions, usually at the legs, against a backdrop of crisp technicolor. Working and living in Detroit, with the dichotomy of it’s burned out buildings and green suburbs, has had an impact on her stylistic approach and on her subject matter.

beautiful work! posters for posterity!2
I like it. And it grabbed your attention esp. if you posted a comment below. whether you love it or hate I don't see anything where it promotes violence or degrading women.. what i see is government taking away the rights of a citizen n the rights away from people. Failure to follow instructions will land us in prison like the model. Now if steven photographed the same concept with average shmucks would we pay much attention to it? i dont think so. it'd be just another political journalistic photograph.3
