I came across this set of photos by Alison Jackson via a link from a friend commenting on another artist’s work.  i thought these photos by Alison were pretty funny.

“These celebrities are the icons of this contemporary folk religion. The pictures we have of them correspond to the religious pictures of the past. We find ourselves believing that what these pictures portray, really is the whole “truth” about the subject.  For example, Marilyn Monroe is just a sex goddess; Britney Spears is white trash; Camilla is usually portrayed with a touch of the wicked old witch and so on.” -Alison Jackson

M+B represent great artists and their work.  have a look around and you’ll find true iconic photographs.
