Bad Girl Inktography

The Edgy Work of Photographer Stuart Mitchell

Photographer Stuart Mitchell definitely knows how to get the most out of subjects with zero inhibitions. Masked gun-totting girls covered in tattoos may not win points with the Sunday school set, but they definitely make for some great models.

Putting some very interesting "bad girls" on display, Stuart Mitchell shoots in front of a plain backdrop to create a contrasting effect. Gorgeously composed, this series is definitely worth taking a look at.
