In the photo series “2D or not 2D,” the faces of models are transformed with strikingly colorful face paint designs that are intended to appear two-dimensional. The series is a collaborative project by photographer Alexander Khokhlov, make-up artist Valeriya Kutsan, and photo retoucher Veronica Ershova. Last year we posted about Khokhlov and Kutsan’s collaborative series of black and white face paint designs. Khokhlov talks about his work with Kutsan in this 2012 interview with Thrash Lab.
