Each image in this series, entitled "Portrait", is both literally and conceptually skin deep. On one hand the series supports traditional portraiture by presenting an unique and intimate photographic capture of a single individual. On the other hand the lack of representation, personality, or narrative expunge all of the traditional reference points of a portrait. What's left is pure physicality. Sensuality and individuality are recognizable but largely unfamiliar and without reference. The series asks the viewer to come to terms with how we acknowledge identity when facial details, social clues, and even gender markers are inaccessible.

Seems like an odd way to view a model, but it works moderately well.
