Artist Phillip Toledano has created a portrait series of people who have undergone "extreme" plastic surgery. On his website he asks "Is beauty informed by contemporary culture? By history? Or is it defined by the surgeon's hand?" Toledano's images transform what might be seen as "freakish", into gorgeous portraits; reminds me a bit of JP Witkin.
