Remember to wear sunscreen!
That sweet tan tends to quiet any lingering concern about not wearing the highest SPF.
But a new series of photos will give you the reminder you need to actually wear sunblock, day in, day out. In the series, called RAW, photographer Pierre-Louis Ferrer took ultraviolet, close-up portraits of 20 people to show the reality of sun damage invisible to the human eye. He used special camera equipment to show the spots, marks, and freckles hidden on the skin and caused by exposure to UV light.
Pierre says: ‘Each model offers the viewer an intimate view of his own being, which he cannot even perceive by himself.‘This relationship of intimacy and trust is the opposite of our society where selfies and social networks project an idyllic vision of our lives.’We think that’s artist-speak for ‘these photos are more honest than selfies on social media, where longterm sun damage is hidden by tans and pretty filters’.
