I didn't state it as cutting edge, either, I think. About the eventual posing: Some are posed, some are not. But it's the unique view of somebody belonging to a subculture, on people belonging to that subculture. Meaning that, even if it might be posed, it still gives us a raw and truthful view on this subculture. So that's pretty photoreportage to me. It's never avbout the autor of the shot, it's always about the shot itself. Let Ted speak now.
