Weird Beauty

 

The “Weird Beauty” project is a collaboration between photographer Alexander Khokhlov based in Moscow, Russia and great make-up artist Valeriya Kutsan. In these series artists decided to deny any color in their series except black and white to make more accent on forms and volume. The experiment should prove that usual simple forms, familiar things or characters can be a main part of wonderful beauty looks. Model faces in this project are not just canvases for the face-arts – they play their own role in each photo with different parts.
