The photographer purposely provoked the toddlers (all under three years of age) to have these emotional outbursts. As a father of three children, I have to say this jerks my chain a little. I have no problems with photographers capturing all human emotion, but to purposely torment (yes, giving a small child a lollipop and then taking it away to make them cry is torment in my book) to capture the emotion, is just low class. What do you think?
(Edited original title from "Is this art" to something else...well...because yes it is art...in a really mean way.)
