The Dwarf (With Cigarettes and Flowers) - Bruce Davidson 1958
A very powerful image, that. I guess that’s what love looks like. ![]()

Needs slapping
Unfortunately wears a red baseball hat (figuratively) these days
His series of photographs with Jimmy Armstrong are amongst my favourite portrait photographs - very powerful.
This one is remarkable


Very clever!
Great image but it screams of better at using photoshop than better at taking photographs, Too over processed for my liking. I’m a moany cunt tbf.
Is it not more sensible to assume the image - like almost anything on the internet - has been copied and recopied multiple times in low-res formats like JPEG, and thus lost masses of resolution along the way? It would take fabulously inept use of editing software to de-grain it so much that it looks AI-generated, as here.
In any case the headline effect is the result of staged lighting, if you must have something to moan about…
