These are the original shots from my Xtra! shoot without digital treatements. The idea was simply to come in at the beginning of the shoot completely made up, and one by one remove the accoutrements of my appearance. In the final shot I am just wearing a bit of Chapstick on my lips.

Photographed by freelance Toronto photographer Paula Wilson. The concept for the shoot came from me. Big thanks to Gordon Bowness for organizing the shoot, to Nicholas Flood for assisting and to Xtra! mag for giving me the opportunity to express myself in a meaningful way.
