Perfect imperfections
Nowadays people have become very self-conscious about their image and as much as possible they try to perfect it. Now there are laser treatments for varicose veins and scars, other than the plastic surgery procedures. In my opinion I think these little scars or naked veins add value to a person because we are only human and these are like skid marks on our body and each of them tells a story. I chose a very raw angle to photograph because I think it highlights the imperfections most. It was difficult to find subjects to photograph, even though I had already promised anonymity, the subjects that rejected to be photographed were even too shy to show me their imperfections let alone let me photograph them. The ones that allowed me were shocked after I had printed the images and actually thought that they looked worse than real life and three of them told me they would get treatment to remove their imperfections. In my opinion, I think these are just perfect imperfections.
