I am a huge fan of fashion, and photography, and I aspire to shoot fashion as a photographer. I’ve never, ever, not once, been offended by something implied in a fashion spread. However, there’s something about one or two of these images that make me think of the girl who was held captive in the backyard of a home in middle America somewhere…and I just hope to God (or whatever) that the photographer/creative director/AD…whoever…was not making light of that in a fashion spread, as some sexual taboos are addressed in fashion photography. I had to comment. It just doesn’t feel right to me, the girl on the ground like she’s bound, and then in the fenced in area in the backyard, then smoking on a pile of fencing, and in lingerie as if enjoying this fetish-y situation. The whole thing smacks a little uncomfortable for me. It’s as surprising to me as it might be to anyone else that I’m reading this in this way. Maybe it’s the recent news of yet another incest captivity story in Germany…and so on.

I see that it was published 2006. I think that was before that news broke of that situation. So I’m hoping for the best that it’s not making light, but the premise with the “bound” girl on the ground and the see saw in the fenced in area, like she’s a little girl, being held captive, in the backyard…still a little yucky.
