LENS BASED MEDIA- ‘FACE VALUE’ (NETWORKS AND SYSTEMS)

Faces are fundamentally important to social life. ‘we are not solitary mammals like the fox or the tiger; we are genetically social. what is most profoundly felt between is, even if hidden, will reappear in our portraits of one another’. The network of faces we negotiate a daily basis, are not only of the physical, flesh and blood variety, but the ageless, de-fect free, care-free, cloned faces of the billboard and glossy magazine page. Today, photographers who wish to say something meaningful about the face are looking for strategies and tactics to match its rapidly evolving social and technological environment. we are expected to interact both on a physical level and a rapidly evolving artificial social media level.
