The Turtleneck Project Details
"It should be a duty for every photographer working today to use his creativity and influence to free women and finally everyone from the fervour of youth and perfection." Peter LindberghThe Turtleneck Project is a photo-documentary exploration of what beauty means in today's society. Unretouched portraits of participants are published alongside personal definitions of beauty.The goal of this project is to showcase an authentic and rich tapestry of beauty. To seek a definition of beauty that promotes ACCEPTANCE and INCLUSION.The concept: portraits of people from all walks of life. All portraits are shot in black-and-white, with the same lighting. No photoshopping is involved in the creation of these images.Everyone wears a unifying piece of garment: a black turtleneck sweater. Every participant answers the same three questions: 1. What makes a human being beautiful?2. Tell me a story about someone who is beautiful to you.3. What do you like about yourself?We invite you to follow us on this journey to a modern definition of beauty. Photography by Tam Lan TruongProduced by Jobair Jaber
