defaced continued

continuation of the idea of removing the face off portrait images, in this set of images i have asked random people on the street to write something on a white board, ideally personal knowing that their faces would be scratched out after the image was taken, and also that the board could be wiped clean. removing the face makes the image less personal to an individual whilst having a personal quote on the white board makes the image affect a wider range of people viewing the image

defaced

social fine art where by removing the face of the model the images become less personal to an individual, images where distressed manually, often giving disturbing results.
