The Exit Magazine I Love You More Than My Own Skin editorial zeroes on an eccentric warrior version of model Anais Pouliot. Pouliot was styled by Sam Ranger who here opted for strips of black and blue face paint, etching out the features of Pouilot in a wild manner.
This edgy approach to cosmetics was captured by photographer Tung Walsh. Walsh chose to place Pouliot in a disheveled apartment, complete with misplaced furniture and children's toys.
I Love You More Than My Own Skin will be placed in Exit Magazine's Winter 2012/2013 issue. The images celebrate the rise of grunge in accordance with the current season, seen in Pouliot's large rifle and loose knit sweaters.
