Twisted Celebtography

Extreme Beth Ditto Portraits in Dazed & Confused

In addition to the surreal cover of the Dazed & Confused May 2009 issue, Beth Ditto stars in a rather weird editorial inside.

Beth Ditto is captured by photographer Rankin while pulling some intense faces. I doubt that other mainstream celebrities would go for such extreme shots. But that’s what makes Beth Ditto so special--she just doesn’t give a f*ck.

I do like the newspaper collar that stylist Robbie Spencer got Beth Ditto to wear in the main image.
