Moscow photographer Alexander Khokhlov recently shot a series of "2D or not 2D" face painting photography to explore the impact of painting and makeup on vision.
With the help of makeup artist Valeriya Kutsan and retouching expert Veronica Ershova, the model’s original three-dimensional face was deliberately painted into a 2D flat painting. Because Valeriya specifically uses drawing techniques such as sketching, watercolor painting, oil painting and figurative art to express his works, and also injects the characteristics of comics, posters, pixel graphics, pop art and cartoons, the artistic sense is very strong. If you weren't betrayed by those expressive eyes and strands of delicate and distinct hair, you would really have deceived a lot of people at first glance~
