Photographer Amanda Jasnowski toys with faceless portraiture and the “therapeutic power of art”

Brooklyn-based photographer Amanda Jasnowski’s belief in “never taking yourself too seriously” shines through in her vibrant and playful portfolio. Amanda’s regularly faceless compositions of human flesh are indicative of a desire to toy with traditional portraiture and ignite a carnal curiosity in her audience.

Much of the Spanish-born photographer’s work centres around a subtle but noticeable focus on her model’s hands, particularly apparent in the absence of facial features. Combined with a collection of atypical poses and unusually choreographed film pieces, Amanda’s work presents the viewer with an opportunity to refocus their gaze when visually processing the human form.

Her ability to create aesthetically soothing colour palettes that combine a range of textures, both synthetic and natural, reflect her desire to harness the “therapeutic power of art” and lends itself to the exploration of movement and perspective that is consistent throughout her work.
