Lifelines and Fingerprints

• Photographer
  Ingo Kreutzer, Austria

The concept of this project is to visualize lifelines and fingerprint patterns in faces
familiar to me, symbolizing the strong personality, vital force and heartbeat that lies
behind shyness and introverted poses that very often come from my models. There is so much
power, and, so much stories that are hidden behind these stoic faces. I re-photographed
some older prints through rough glass pieces to achieve the desired effect.
