“It’s pretty common to see beautiful faces in photographs, but I’m not trying to sell that. I’m interested in portraying the human form as something architectural and surreal.” – Ben Zank
He wanted to portray emotions of his subjects without the use of faces. Rather than the composition, people are the focus of his works.
