The world is finally paying attention to the Syrian refugee crisis. But maybe that's not always a good thing.
A Hungarian photographer, Norbet Baksa, decided to create a "migrant chic" photoshoot titled " Der Migrant. "
The photoshoot, which features a beautiful slim woman, has set off a firestorm, with users calling the spread tasteless and sick.
Baksa has come out in defense of the shoot, suggesting it had value in furthering conversation.
"I do not understand how people can take a clear stand (pro or con) while we are flooded with contradictory information through the media, so no one has extensive knowledge of the situation as a whole. This is exactly what we wanted to picture," he said.
His approach to highlight the issue by showing off a woman fighting off border patrol officers with her breasts peeking from under her shirt or an image of a woman wearing high heeled boots with her legs spread wide open was perhaps, not the best idea.
