It’s borderline child abuse. Exposing these children to second hand smoke to create “fashionable art direction”. The centered figures in circles, I mean really people. Get to work!!

  watch the video, its not even remotely child abuse – its faked

Yea @Myraha I agree. I always thought these were paintings. When I first saw the white girl with the pink sweater and blonde hair, it looked like an oil painting. Amazing work though. These kids look like they’ve smoked before XD

And by the way, the kid at the end is going to have some serious health issues. Dude smokes more than my buddie lmao! He’s so cute though. KIDS ARE SO PRECIOUS!! I WANT ALL OF THEM!

oddly enough I find the video more stirring than the finished photographs?

    The process is almost always more interesting than the final product.

Labeling it art does not excuse exploitation of children at the expense of someone’s idea of art. Art or not, these are children.You don’t know if these children will grow up to fully regret this photoshoot. Children are people too but at this age obviously cannot make grown up decisions for themselves. But hey, at least they can rely on these artists right? It looks amazing so who cares about what the kid will think when he or she potentially develops morals about smoking.This makes me very sad and there’s nothing to be open minded about when it comes to promoting poor choices with the most vulnerable. Very selfish and disgusting.

  If you think they are promoting smoking then you obviously did not understand the point the artist was trying to make.

It is difficult to have an instant response to these. That’s why I like them.

I wasn’t sure what I thought about this at first. Now I think it’s really interesting and I love that it’s open to interpretation. I think she’s making a good point here.
