Linda Hassen / Naevus Flammeus

Apr, 25.2024

Linda Hassen spent three years in Copenhagen capturing Naevus Flammeus. This is a series of portrait photographs of men, women, and children with birthmarks on their faces and necks, which are congenital vascular malformations that result in birthmarks ranging from pale pink to deep red. She attempted to use the power of photography to reveal what people often overlook in others, the essence of humanity behind appearances. Linda Hansen said, "I’m trying to challenge the way you look at others. I use portrait photography to explore how we perceive those who are considered by society to have non-conventional looks."
