Artist Spotlight: Marco Vernaschi



Marco Vernaschi is a photojournalist who was born in Italy in 1973 and currently lives in Buenos Aires, Argentina. There has been quite a bit of controversy surrounding many of his photographs, including those involving teen prostitution and the exhumation of a child's dead body that dealt with human sacrifice. I personally am in both shock and awe of his work. To me, his photographs capture the true reality and horror of events that most of us can not even fathom. For lack of better words: HIS PHOTOS ARE REAL.

I challenge you to check out his series of work.
WARNING: Many images are graphic and disturbing.
