Photographed by Ellen von Unwerth, the Common & Sense #40 issue needs no explanation, as the pictures can plainly speak for themselves. Based on a selection of some of the editorial's more modest spreads, this collection of erotic images still leaves little to the imagination.
Looking a lot like the photographs that appear in obscene Internet pop-ups, this project is undoubtedly channeling the explicit attitude of amateur pornography. Set in a dimly lit apartment, the shoot stars voluptuous models Jana Jirickova and Dioni Tabbers appearing completely naked in some snapshots, partially nude in others, fully clothed in a select few, but lustful in each one.
Exploring a common -- yet crude -- style of online photography within the realm of printed publication, Common & Sense #40 takes the cover of the magazine, and seizes attention on the newsstand.
