Britney gets lipo and the Queen takes a dump - all in a days work for Alison Jackson
<< Back
Staged Photography Jul 08, 2008 at 11:27
Photographer Alison Jackson, seemingly has access to some of the most private moments of some of the most public people. She manages to capture the unimaginable, like images of The Queen on the toilet and Bush and Blair sharing a sauna together but all is not as it seems. Alison has cheekily employed the services of look-a-like actors to represent "fake" but strangely believable scenarios which she then photographs in a voyeuristic fashion. Clever.

"Powerful images dominate the world. Pictures of celebrities who have reached the status of icons or demons. They are news—whether they are the Royal Family, Madonna, Posh and Becks or Britney Spears.  This news becomes intrigue; it becomes difficult to differentiate between what is real and what is fantasy, what is important and what is not." - Alison Jackson

Check out some samples of her work to the right of this post and for more information about the artist visit M+B

I think she could have been more adventurous on 'Brad Shaves Angelina'. But otherwise - super super clever imagery.

Btw the Angelina Jolie is almost believable if it werent for the Brad pic fake.....Guess its a task and a half to demand to find a man that somewhat resembles hotness personified to the max times 10 =p
