*Rustface*
Canon EOS300 + Fuji Acros II
Model: Sandise

(In 2022 I’m starting to use the techniques learned through Photosynthesis to apply them to other projects. This one is tentatively called Photovoltaic, where I use industrial textures instead of plant textures in my portraits. Work in progress.)

I knew from the start that using industrial textures would result in more disturbing pictures. I also suspected that just shooting random textures, like I did in this shipyard in Cheung Chau a few weeks before leaving Hong-Kong wouldn’t yield anything workable. I was wrong on that, thankfully. But I was certainly right about how disturbing the images could be: the rust on Sandise’s face here makes him look diseased. But it’s striking.
