Skeleton Models

Richard Avedon's Photographs 'In Search Of Comfort'

This awesome set of photographs is from the famed photographer Richard Avedon. The series is called “In Search Of Comfort," and pairs models with skeletons in a macabre twist.

The models do a tremendous job; I would find posing with a skeleton far too creepy. Even looking at the position of some of the hands makes me a bit squeamish.

The end result is, however, very effective and you find yourself having to look at the pictures in more detail.
