Michael stokes photos - Photographer Michael Stokes captures amputee war veterans naked

I could never imagine doing something like this.

Instead of depicting the former soldiers as sorrowful casualties of war, Stokes aims to present them as sexy, confident and powerful.

Michael said that he believes that the reason people have responded so positively to the photos is because they focus less on the lost limbs and more on the person's attractiveness.

He also left the Reserves, as a lance corporal, a year before he claims that he was working with Mujaheddin in Afghanistan; His excuse? Just want to make sure! I'm not giving them back their confidence.
