There is no getting away from the fact that Tierney Gearon takes some pretty disturbing photographs. In fact I don’t think i’ll link you today, just you follow your nose if you so desire.

The crux of the issue, or at least the stigma, is that the content is largely comprised of her children, often naked and usually up to all sorts of antics. For me, the shame is that the truly great images in her collections are ignored, because they fail to provoke like those I have alluded to above.

Take the shot above for example. Amidst her other work it seems mundane, yet perhaps this is the intention, and the warmth this image allows the viewer to feel, after the uncomfortableness of the rest of the work, is what the initial goal was.
