making of smoking kids expo frieke janssens

[Aquatwin22]

gorgeously done photography. The time you put into this is great. I also like how you were able to find methods in which you could simulate what looks like smoking but it isnt instead of having to put in photo-shopped smoke. It adds a lot to the image. Plus the way it makes people think is very amazing. I think my favorite part is the decade theme's that appear throughout.

esta fue mi idea de campaña contra el abusos de sustancias por parte de los adolescentes.. la expuse en la universidad pero fui totalmente incomprendido.. me emociona saber que no estaba equivocado y que se usara en el primer mundo

I also like the music of this video. What is the title of this song?

Making OF!!! OF! not, OFF. That doesn't even make sense.

[MBGamingLegends]

The photos are absolutely, stunningly beautiful. There's something eerie and disturbing about them, yet, it captures the innocence of the children as they smoke away their lives. Perfect.

I dont know man that kid with the cigar looked pretty slick.....

[BalloonShortage]

For those thinking that they're real smokes it isn't the kids are either holding cheese or incense sticks and then editing the photos on the computer to making it look authentic. HOW STUPID WOULD A PARENT BE TO LET THEM TOUCH A REAL ONE!

[Luis16Salgado16]

Que pirobo, los niños ni saben que están haciendo ahí

[Tioiuju]

@Luis16Salgado16 Seeee...! Como son tontos! jajajaja. Ahora los chicos son más pícaros que vos, yo y toda la comunidad de Youtube juntos!

[EL3CTR0FR3AK]

For those quick to criticise, she wrote on her site,

'I wanted to isolate the viewer's focus upon the issue of smoking itself. I felt that children smoking would have a surreal impact' as well as 'there is a nod to less attractive aspects, on the line between the beauty and ugliness of smoking.'

And even though this should be obvious, 'there were no real cigarettes on set. Instead, chalk and sticks of cheese were the prop stand ins, while candles and incense provided the wisps of smoke.'

[carlabodenlosfiore]

Call me insane. The images are beautiful, indeed, but I do believe that they incentivise smoking. The effects of smoking are not beautiful. We know that million die every year due to smoking related diseases, therefore it should never be portrayed as something cool, pretty or anything like that.

How many more ways can we exploit children?

[robosextoid]

@monktonmama This qualifies as exploitation? Have you heard of child prostitution? Have fun with planet earth, you're going to love it.

Tenaz!

[rjolsson]

Feel proud of yourself, damaging the health of kids and getting them addicted?

[fuzztanks]

@rjolsson The "smokes" weren't real

[tehforj]

@rjolsson Because holding a single cigarette gets you addicted...
