Dirty Dry and Dull
I wanted to create a study of faces and texture. I covered my models in powder to simplify their features as well as make some stand out, such as the shape of their face. The idea was mostly inspired from a photograph I had seen of a man covered in powder; however, it had more of a tribal reference, which I wasn’t interested in recreating.
I was looking to make them look as if they were sculpted heads. The stark expression helps add to this idea. The title of the series encouraged how I would approached my idea but has very little to do with the project itself.
Ultimately, I was hoping to make something strange and hard to look at but beautiful at the same time by showing how unique the face is.
