The Grotesque Beauty of Photographer Maisie Cousins

Maisie Cousins is a London-based photographer known for her intimate and hyper-saturated images that push the boundaries of seduction and repulsion. With a similar visual approach to iconic photographer Marilyn Minter, Cousins is interested in seeing the natural world for what it is, both beautiful and disgusting. I love how unsettling her work is. Everything is so sharp and saturated, you get to see every detail, for better or worse. It’s all so visceral an reaction provoking. If you’re interested in learning more, I highly suggest reading her interview with Materia, where she gives a lot of insight into the whys of her work.
