Please Do Not Touch

When it comes to borrowing expensive jewelry for a photo shoot, you wouldn’t believe the hoops we often have to jump through to get a necklace or pair of earrings into a shot. Nothing compared, however, to securing the rights to the masterpieces that photographer Kenji Toma proceeded to, well, destroy in “Please Do Not Touch.” The process only reinforced the story’s commentary on the inaccessibility of some “priceless” art.
