Certainly striking and potentially delicious, the On Your Face photography series by Emanuela Franchini features a female model wearing nothing but edible foods on her face.
While a steak and a naked woman may be the ultimate fantasy for some people, ahem George Costanza, this series is not just about sensuality and bedroom play, or should I say kitchen play. There is a carnal reaction we have as a species where our instincts desire food and beauty, so combining the two creates a curious composition that is so surreal, yet is still quite enticing.
A woman with eggs instead of eyes can become an nightmarish vision, but in On Your Face, that is just a regular occurrence.
