Some people may know Bill Henson's work because of the controversy that led to his show in May of 2008 being shut down and the images seized do to what some people thought was child pornography. I have been aware of Henson's work since early 2001 when I became interested in the photographic arts and I have loved it ever since. Henson's photographs are romantic and the space he creates for his subjects is always veiled in dim and mystic light, haunted with the ghost of pretty young people at night. Henson creates a world where loneliness and desire abound in the world he has created for his subjects. I find Henson's work to be beautifully captured and I am always disappointed when other artist haven't seen his work.
