# Bad Girl Inktography The Edgy Work of Photographer Stuart Mitchell By Ryan Hinkson | Published 2010-11-05 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/photographer-stuart-mitchell References: [inkbutter](http://inkbutter.com/photography-by-stuart-mitchell) & [walnutwax.tumblr](http://walnutwax.tumblr.com/) Photographer Stuart Mitchell definitely knows how to get the most out of subjects with zero inhibitions. Masked gun-totting girls [covered in tattoos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/86-tattoo-limited-edition) may not win points with the Sunday school set, but they definitely make for some [great models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/betterstudio). Putting some very interesting "bad girls" on display, Stuart Mitchell shoots in front of a [plain backdrop](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/still-life-1) to create a contrasting effect. Gorgeously composed, this series is definitely worth taking a look at. **Implications** - Businesses that offer their clients products that enable them to experience an unfamiliar set of emotions will appeal to a wide audience.
