The naked body may be a beautiful work of art as is, but the photo series titled Impressions by Scout Pare-Phillips, a student photographer splitting her time between New York City and Baltimore, shows that the imprints of daily life can add to its natural beauty. By capturing the ghost of such clothing items as socks, waistbands and bras as well as accessories like necklaces and rings, the series suggests the provocative ritual of disrobing, which could be more erotic than nudity itself.
Playing on people's naughty sense of imagination, Impressions by Scout Pare-Phillips is simple and straightforward, which makes filling in the blanks that much easier. Comprised solely of fleshy tones, even when it comes to the backdrop, the images are incredibly scientific and sensual.
