Society has always wanted to classify individuals: man / woman, social class, religion… Each of us deeply desiring to be recognized and accepted by others, this creation of categories allows us to feel that we belong to a group or, quite the contrary, to disparage a different group from hers. In recent times, this need to belong has experienced a significant revival, which is reflected in ostentatious religious behavior or waves of racist acts.

 

This series aims to show through portraits, the beauty and richness of a mixed and diverse society and that it is foolish to categorize others without understanding the complexity of their being.

 

For this, one of the most obvious criteria when looking at the other remains the skin color. But rather than basing the portraits on a particular nationality, they are based on the "phototype"; a dermatological criterion which makes it possible to classify individuals according to the reaction of their skin during sun exposure. There is therefore no judgment, only an objective and scientific opinion.

Each portrait is a mixture of each of the 6 existing phototypes thus creating a hybrid individual.
