Its quite interesting to see the use of photography in this way. The shots were set up to simulate instances in the life of celebrities, to take a humourous look at media speculations and hypes and our expectation of them. We see many of such shots daily in the papers, the difference with these are the shots were done with impersonators and lookalikes. It is an unusual ways of exploiting the photographic media, playful, funny but yet downright crude at the same time.  Interestingly enough, the perspective of using photography to distort and disllusion but yet fulfill the craving of the prying of the public into the life of celebrities is a rather cynical take on us, the viewers and on the celebrities. Very interesting indeed. Imagine Queen Elizabeth getting brazilian waxing... that far off....heha.
