NEI / Day Portraits, 2010 - in progress



Two shots showing the face in two positions, two colours used for the background.
One colour is chosen by the subject, the other by the photographer. 

The positions of any facial moles are tracked.
The colour of the moles is determined by the sum of the two complementary background colours.
Each pair of pictures is named with the initials of the interpreter and his/her year of birth.
