With so many photo books being released documenting supermodels, pop stars and just exceptionally beautiful people in general, Louie Jenkins’ new “Larger Than Life and Twice As Ugly” turns the perception of beauty on its head. An entire book dedicated to “the freaks [he] met in America, Morocco and everywhere in between” showcases average people doing, perhaps, not so average things.

“Female empowerment looks like putting the next girl on. A lot of people try to make it seem like if you putting someone on, it’s taking away from you, but I feel as though if you really a girl’s girl, you don’t have no problem putting the next girl on. For me, any female I see with a small following but is so talented, that bothers me. I’m the first person to follow you girl and blow up your comments and let you know that you’re that fucking girl. The amount of followers you have doesn’t match the talent you have, and now I’m going crazy and now I’m your fan.”
