Richard Burbridge's Masks







These photographs were taken by Richard Burbridge for the Swedish magazine Livraison. They are terrifying. The proposed innocence of the models behind the masks and the clean and well-produced nature of the shots of this beauty portraiture contrasted by the sometimes industrial fetish, sometimes tribal construction of the masks is quite enchanting. Take note of ruffled hair and bare upper bodies - connoting what, if anything? Eyes wide open yet relaxed, shoulders not tense. Make me your victim.
