Artist David Barnes’ commentary on The Sideboard:

My original intent in creating “The Sideboard” was a commentary on American media — “If you are going to portray women as slabs of meat, why go half way?”  The objectification of the woman portrayed in this photo goes to an extreme, and my hope is that the savy viewer will get the implied social jab, rather than mistaking it at face value.  I also think that it turned out to be a beautiful picture, not just a political statement.

Artist David Barnes’ commentary on Facing Peril, Ximon9050 and Fly the Kite:

My recent photographic art is accomplished using a multiple-exposure-like process in a digital SLR camera. None of these pictures were manipulated or pieced together in Photoshop, they were all done in-camera using studio lighting techniques that I discovered through experimentation.
