THE SWEETEST TABOO

"She creates images you won t ever forget. It s like she abuses the beauty of the images to confuse observers." - Weekend Knack Photographer for the well-known Smoking Kids, Animalcoholics and Your Last Shot series, Frieke Janssens is part of a new generation of aesthetic photographers. Pictures of smoking children and drunk animals, people on their deathbeds and single women on the hunt for men - yet somehow her photographs are never shocking or crude. In fact, you ll have a hard time finding someone more in touch with aesthetics than Frieke Janssens. She s been a professional photographer for twenty years now, so it s about time she published her own book.
