Models: Bas and Marko These pictures are part of a series called "Lokhomo" (Decoy Gay) and is part of Nancy's "Don’t give a speech, put on a show" project. Word from the Artist: In my search for content in fashion photography, I combine current events with fashion. "Don’t give a speech, put on a show" is about irony, humor and self-reflection. The photos are intended as a metaphor of the madness that a hype brings along. I looked closely at items that have earned (worthy or not) a lot of attention and showed it in 3 different series; “Comazuipen”, “Lokhomo” en “Obesitas”. I tried to capture topics where everyone has an opinion about in a ironic way. Go to Nancy's website
