Personality-Stripping Photography

The Exterface Exhibit Shows the Model's Exterior & Interior

The new Exterface exhibit going on in Paris, France from November 5th until November 7th, is a photography exhibit to promote the latest book of photography from Exterface and their collaborator Fred Faurtin.

The Exterface exhibit shows attempts by photographers to strip down their models to expose a “hidden side” and to try and photograph their beings and not just their amazing features.

Implications - The collection of photos isn't about just the outside of humans, but humans as a whole. The featured images are colorful, bold and powerful. They feature both men and women and work to express people's many differences in life. One image features men holding beer cans while another features men who look like they are from a tribe within the forest.
