Identity Research

I have been google'ing and searching for inspiration, and have been come interested my Make Up. I found an image that i will post below by an Photograpgher called Leland Bobbé who says
"Through the power of hair and makeup these men are able to completely transform themselves and find their female side while simultaneously showing their male side. These are composed in camera and are not two separate images joined together."

I find the use of make-up on either females or males interesting because of the freedom for a person to express themselves and the issue of confidence as well. Make up can be a cover for many people, a security blanket which must be applied every, single, day.




However this insecutiry of ones own naked face is one created by the society that said-person is in.Slightly off topic maybe is who benefits preying on the insecurity and pressure that surronds make up.
