“Shape is a series by French photographer Quentin Arnaud that consists of minimalistic portraits shot with low-key lighting. The stark lighting highlights the shape of the head but completely leaves the face void of any details, giving a creepy and ominous look to each of the photos.”

Faceless Portraits With Low-Key Lighting

“My model looked at me like I was crazy when we drove to a grimy alleyway behind an Italian grocer because I wanted to shoot ‘a pretty summertime editorial look’. While I can hardly blame her, I live and work in Seattle, which can certainly live up to its overcast and rainy stereotype. So, I sometimes find myself in a certain mania to use the sun while it’s out.”
