People have more similarities than differences. Status disappears when pulling a funny face. The aloofness goes away, distance to others disappears. It's about letting down your mask and not take yourself too seriously.

Story

With this series of portraits 'Funny Faces' I want to bring positivity in this time of crisis.
We need each other in times of crisis. Solidarity is important.
Working for a better future, individually but also together.
Everyone is important. People have more similarities than differences.
Status disappears when pulling a funny face.
The aloofness goes away, distance to others disappears. It's about letting down your mask and not take yourself too seriously.

The challenge was to get the men letting down their masks.
I have had a lot of fun making the portraits and the people photographed had also a lot of fun and hopefully it brings the viewer also a lot of pleasure.
