Monkeyman is the name French Photographer Pierre Beteille goes by. He is brutally honest about his work, and I love it. He says he is not a photographer or an artist, he just makes images. He says he shoots very average, or even bad, photos and just makes them better via Photoshop. He definitely has some fun and creates very original works.
