Human Body As A Mark


The human body is the most recognizable figure in the world, so i chose to play on that concept by using photographs that at first glance were ambiguous and not recognizable, and that almost blended into the setting. I chose to use nude figures to prevent any distractions of clothing, and wanted to border on the sexual, especially with the image of contorted breasts and the image where the lips and vagina retain the most color--not to feed into the idea that women are objectified, which is a negative idea to perpetuate through any medium, but because I think very few people, not just women, are bold and honest, and the two women I photographed are examples of people who are so honest, open, and confident that they display themselves with no burden of negativity, shame, or self consciousness. The final results lie in both the photographs and the process of taking them.
