Deep Donkey
If you ever find yourself needing to escape a gang of sea creatures hell-bent on raping you, a whale's vagina is not the best place to hide.
Looking at Ben Pier's Photos Is Better Than Eating Burritos or Wanking to Pornhub
I'm working on a new book, which means I have to go out and shoot a ton of stuff. So this set is a look into that process at its earliest stage.
