This image gallery showcases some of the controversially wonderful works of photographer Jean Baptise Mondinos who was inspired by the [edgy adult comic series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dirty-looks) by Eric Stanton.

His inspiration began when he made the [music video](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/il-pranzo-campaign) to accompany Madonna's 1995 tune, "Human Nature." Additionally, Mondinos chained up [top model](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zhilyova) Nadja Aumerman for this brilliant editorial.
