Pecker
These images were created during the Fine Line Features production of director John Waters’ film Pecker and featured in the film as the main character’s photographs. The film is about a young Baltimore photographer, Pecker, who toils away at a drudge-work day job while he indulges his obsession for taking pictures of his family, friends, and neighborhood. The black and white photographs were deliberately distressed to emphasize his use of a cheap camera and his limited darkroom skills.
