Experimental Face Paint Portraits

The Experiments Series Explores the Concept of Identity

Photographer Andy Lo Po and English art director Gem Fletcher recently released the Experiments series, which explores the concept of identity. For many photographers, makeup is a useful way to transform models into different characters. This series goes beyond makeup in order to convey the idea of a second skin in a striking new way,

The Experiments series explores the concept of identity through the use of abstract masks. In each image, the model is covered with a different artifice that conveys the idea of a second skin. Instead of only relying on makeup, Po and Fletcher also used unexpected materials such as paint and collage. The result is a series of stunning portraits that convey the abstract notion of performing a different identity.
