Dogging and Voyeurism
I love the work of Japanese documentary photographers. I was excited to discover the work of Kohei Yoshiyuki over a year ago when the New York Times published an article about a series of photographs called "the Park" The art of surveillance has been growing in popularity.
Today found this article in Trend Hunter about Steven Meisel's racy fashion editorial shoot for V Magazine.
There is a big difference, there is no nudity in Yoshiyuki's work. His work taken in parks in Japan in the 70's. Kohei's work talks about the act of voyeurism and makes us self aware that we are taking part, Steven Meisel's work is voyeuristic.
