That would be Araki I reckon, and it's a guy.

cheers chap, i misplaced my notes on 'him' and thought it would be easy to find the work through a search engine without the name, it wasnt that easy. thanks for your help.

I think you might be thinking of Izima Kaoru, he did these nice series where he asked models to choose how they died and then recreated it in a photo. As far as I know, he's still continuing this concept as he's asked my girl to participate, and I'm very jealous.

Let me get this straight: you're jealous because you'd like to be the author of 'how your girlfriend would like to die' rather than this guy who did the 'nice' series?

Bloody hell Penny, I didnt know you had it in you.

Surely he's jealous of his girlfriend - that was what I understood of it.

You could also be thinking of the work of Laura Mars.

Laura Mars is a fictional character though. The photographer whose imagery you see in the film of that name is Rebecca Blake.

Haha no Penny, I'm jealous that she has the oppurtunity to work with him as detlev says.
