Photography is an extremely interesting art. If you think about it, you can count just hundreds of different directions. There are portraits, a landscape, a still life, and much, much more. Nevertheless, photographers do not stop and create more and more new genres.
To be honest, I don't even know how to name this one - the authors themselves do not give a name to their work. The subject of the shooting is the girls, but only the photographers are not interested in the face, hairstyle or even the figure of the girls. Instead, photographers shoot their hands and … something else. The girls' fingers are depicted with animated images - faces. They are drawn in such a way that if a girl covers her face with her hands, then we will no longer see her eyes, nose, mouth, but drawn.
Interestingly, a variety of emotions are depicted - fear, lack of mood, shock, laughter. But just hands wouldn't cause a stir, would they? Therefore, the bodies of nude models were also included in the foreshortening. Quite a curious look at art, because the main characters here are not so much the girls themselves as these painted faces.

Buy My Face: the face of an advertising campaign or an advertising campaign on the face?
“Advertising is the engine of trade” - even a schoolchild knows this. But British students Ross Harper and Ed Moyes know that creative advertising is doubly effective!

Face to face: intriguing black and white portraits of wild animals
Ted Grant was convinced that when a photographer captures people in color, he photographs their clothes, but when he switches to black and white photography, he captures their soul. The task of the Geneva-based photographer Alex Teuscher was even more difficult: he chose wild animals as models for the series of portraits. Monochrome images made it possible for the artist to present the inhabitants of the zoo to the viewer, as they say, in a new light
