Adult Grimaces - Character and joy
I am deeply impressed by Bruce Gilden's 'Faces' series. I wanted to create something more philanthropic, positive and joyful, so I came up with the 'Adult Grimaces' series. I ask my lay models to produce grimaces or expressions of fear, anger, joy, disgust, sadness and surprise. There is a childish pleasure in making grimaces and there are enormous differences in talent and expressivity. It is psychologically interesting to see who is willing to participate, who holds back in order to look good and who puts all their creativity into the task. Taking these pictures is a fun experience for both models and photographer.
