Satisfaction: Maisie CousinsLondon-based photographer Maisie Cousins is known for her work exploring the relationship between the beautiful and the grotesque. Her sticky, sweaty, hyper-saturated photographs and videos eschew the conventional ideals of beauty and sex in a way that can’t help but force a reaction out of you.
For this social commission for NOWNESS (shown here in a special edit), Cousins draws on the #satisfaction internet phenomenon, getting up close and personal with flowers and insects to explore the visceral and playful sexual interactions that are all around us in nature—expect slow-motion, macro-close-ups of fluffy bumblebees rubbing their bodies inside flowers, and dripping nectar and butterflies rubbing their wings.
