About

Two shoots, one project. Both about the same thing — what a face holds when it has nothing to hide behind.

The first series is all skin. A close crop, natural light, freckles and frost. One eye, one truth. The fur collar is the only concession to anything decorative. Everything else is just a person, close enough to touch.

The second is harder. A hotel interior, red velvet, leather gloves. A woman leaning into a surface like she owns it. The clothes are armour — the face says she doesn't need them.

Peau Nue isn't about removing things. It's about seeing what's left when performance stops.
