|
Demi Lovato seems bent on shredding any trace of her Disney girl-next-door image.
The 21-year-old star plays the alluring vamp in a series of photographs appearing in Tyler Shields' forthcoming photography book The Dirty Side Of Glamour.
Demi, who was only 19 when she did the photo shoot, put her complete trust with the lensman known for being creatively experimental and controversial.

The Heart Attack singer is often seen pouting her scarlet-red mouth and staring at the viewer sulkily beneath the heavy bangs of her bouffant dark hair.
Another photo shows Demi in close up cutting her hair with a pair of scissors, an eerie reminder of Demi's own personal struggles.
Demi spent three months in rehab for 'emotional and physical issues' in 2010 and has been open about her problems with bulimia, bipolar disorder and cutting, Us Weekly reported.

Due to hit shelves on November 12, the book's more than 130 photographs show other celebrities in raw, unrestrained abandon, including Zachary Quinto stripping down in the shower.
Shields raved about Demi's professionalism during the shoot, which also saw her smashing a large sheet of glass into tiny fragments.
‘I want to show a new side of Demi. She’s all grown up now,’ Tyler told MailOnline in 2012.
‘I think she gets it. She’s had a hard life but there’s always two sides to all of it. She loves to create, that's for sure.'

He added: ‘She’s fantastic. Such a lovely girl, very sweet and easy as pie to work with. She’s also very good at breaking things.
‘I tossed her a giant thing of glass and said, "Smash the hell out of it. Also you get one take, so don't mess it up."'
Some of Demi's photographs were also shown at Tyler's Beyond The Gates show at London's Imitate Modern gallery on February 24.
