JILL GREENBERG, PHOTOGRAPHER

American photographer (& Artist) Jill Greenberg is a talented photographer who specialises in some seriously awesome re-touching skills. She's photographed celebrities, politicians, monkeys and had a pretty interesting career in photography and general trouble making.

The below shots are from her 2006 exhibition titled 'End Times' which copped quite a lot of controversy for photographing children after she had taken away lollipops that they had just been given, to provoke outbursts.

The lollies were returned after 30 seconds and the kids were fine, but that didnt stop the uproar from the crazies stating that it was "child abuse".
Greenberg said she had wanted to depict what reminded her of the "helplessness and anger I feel about our current political and social situation."

Forgetting the drama, how AMAZING are the images?

I've only listed a few here but you can easily google the rest.
