I just happened upon the work of Rennie Ellis, an Austrailian photographer whose work I had not previously been aware of. His unique brand of photo journalism spans from the 1960s until his death in 2003. Its probably best to use the following line from his site to describe his work.
Rennie Ellis was attracted to the unusual and eccentric, the bizarre and the erotic. His photographs can be confronting as a head-butt or infused with subtle and enigmatic nuances that pose more questions than they answer.
