I really liked this image in particular of Steven Klein's as it combined glamour with horror extremely successfully. The beautiful female model casually smoking a cigarette juxtaposes completely with the gruesome appearance of the male model. As this is a scene that would normally cause panic and disgust, her serenity is disturbing. Also, the sensuous way she is touching his shoulder contrasts with how her hands are covered in his blood, making her appear savage and therefore more sinister. All of these contrasts and juxtapositions creates a curiosity in the viewer as to what exactly has happened here. It is this way of storytelling that captured my attention and made me choose this photo.
