Fake Emotion Photography



Fake Emotion Photography is a series of photographs entitled "Fake Emotions" done by Inez van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin which features exposed, naked models who are covering their faces with their hands. This effectively hides any feelings, emotion or facial expressions that the models may have shown. This emotion has been replaced by having artificial faces drawn on the back of their hands, effectively giving the photographers creative control over the emotions in the image.

  1. I think that series of black and white 'fake emotions' is really clever. I think that it also shows that people do hide behind this mask, this fake face, and that there can be a creative control over emtotions. All in all i really like this idea. -Robyn.C

  2. I like the 'fake emotions' as well. The artifical drawings on the hands are so strong being the centre of focus in the image, that i don't even ponder about the real emotion on the face of the model.
