JOY, limited edition 6/30 Photograph

I've always been drawn to the natural emotions shown in the out-takes of my commercial beauty work so I decided to work with Amudat Hassan to create this series 'Joy'. As a beauty photographer, I photograph people most of the time, but rather than taking portraits, I concentrate on achieving the level of perfection that sells make-up. With this series I wanted to show the raw emotion, the un-restrained personality of the models behind the facade of digitally perfected beauty. The edit is strong, sharp and contrasty, which highlights the genuine, raw and joyful expressions of the model. The limited edition prints (x/30) are printed on 385gsm Baryta paper with a small white edge for framing. The print is numbered and signed by the artist on the border.
