i felt we should have this thread and i would like to know what you think of her work...
i myself find it very predictable and boring, she is always creating this femme fatal-girly-sex-kitten stereotype, willfully of course, but i don't see the point of it. a bit of helmut newton but without the edge, etc. etc.
then there are those riefenstahl-inspired 'deutsche mädel' series that give you a certain shock, maybe, but without any deeper effect...?
all that said i admit that i occasionally fall in love with one or two of her images, because she is a good photographer after all.
here is one that i love:
