"...her images are packed with as much violence, sexual tension, and mystery as any David Lynch film. Her photos wouldn’t look out of place next to Cindy Sherman’s on a gallery wall. But, unlike Lynch or Sherman, Leen found tension in the real world, and her subjects weren’t actors—they were just everyday people living out their lives..." from a recent article from the new yorker, entitled the surreal world of nina leen

(many more nina leen photos can be found using my vintage photo tag, she is constant)
