Clothed and Unclothed – An Unusual Photo Project by an American (25 photos)

Photographer Dylan Hamm has long wondered about how many microexpressions our faces make without us even realizing it. To this end, he decided to conduct a curious experiment, inviting brave volunteers to his studio.





Dylan Hamm invited volunteers to participate in his photo project "Naked Faces." The idea was to photograph two portraits of the same person: one clothed and one naked. The photographer promised participants that the nude subjects themselves would not be photographed, but would remain "off-camera."

The photographer's results were astonishing. The differences were sometimes subtle, unexpected, and funny. Incidentally, reactions to the undressing process itself varied: laughter, exclamations, jokes. Surprisingly, this bravura didn't match the results.

The participants in the photo experiment look different in the second portraits: confused, nervous, silly, happy, touching, and vulnerable.
