They are mostly clothed here though so no examples of that perspective but in his book it predominates.
Sam Wang is a close friend and a former colleague at Clemson University. He is one of the most creative photographers I have ever met. He makes his own cameras to explore more fully his own vision. For example, he used a 50mm Mamiya Press lens and grafted it to body that takes 5X7 film holders. The 50mm lens does not cover, rather makes a circular image on the film. One of the characteristics of Sam's work is the extreme near/far perspective.

He had a book published last year in China. You can see/buy it here. http://www.alternativephotography.co.../sam-wang-book The reproductions are very good.
