I haven't posted here in quite a while. Been very busy.
But anyway, I'm currently working on a set of digital portraits to be exhibited (more details will be posted in the future) but I thought I'd share the first three in the series and the background to why I chose the subject.
My job as a body piercer is what inspired these images, I'm a big fan of the history behind my job and the way body modification is used around the world, in most cases to express beauty in a very different way to what we in the Western world consider to be beautiful.
A young Mursi woman with a decorative lip plate.
An Apatani woman with stretched nostril and facial tattoos.
A Kayan "long-necked" woman with brass neck coils.
I hope you all like them.
