A great set of photos from Richard Avedon from a New Yorker feature in 1995.

Thanks for posting the link.

Masterful "set direction" or "art direction" on this series. Great use of effects and props. Really shows what a big production can do.

Striking images that deserve praise and seeing from time to time.

I was surprised to see the...coupling in the door though. Might need to put NSFW in your title.

What a master. Heh, the 'coupling' indeed is a bit surprising, but somehow, it just makes her all the more desirable.

That is the reason Avedon is one of the most admired.

There are so many incredible shots/images in that set that it just is overwhelming to view.

One (just one of many) of my favorites is the "Broken Mirror Face/skull" mortality image. It is a classic.

Is it wrong that I think the doorway shot is really hot?

My favs are the pic where everything is getting blasted away and the mirror one.

Excellent; strange but cool (well, not so for the current season; lol). Thanks for sharing.
