Recently Italian Vogue did a 24-page fashion spread featuring model Kristen McMenamy wearing oil-soaked black feathered outfits, withering away on a beach. Famed photographer Steven Meisel shot the controversial Gulf disaster-inspired images of Kristen McMenamy caught in nets, spitting up oil, and flopping like a dying seal on rocks. I think that the shoot was brilliant. It is very controversial. People are talking, saying that it is tasteless referring to the BP oil spill. But I think from an artistic standpoint, the images are very powerful and thought provoking. The photos are magnificent. I would consider the photographs as pieces of art. They are poignant and very intense. Like water and oil, some will like the photos and others won't like them.
