(Wired) Wes Naman, whose portraits of people with faces wrapped in Scotch tape went viral, is at it again, and this time he's using rubber bands to create creepy caricatures.
The 38-year-old photographer from Albuquerque took the Internet by storm last year after Wired posted photos he'd published on his website. But the Internet is an insatiable beast, and people wanted more.
"It was amazing and completely overwhelming and people kept asking me what's next," he says.
Rubber bands. That's what. Just like Scotch tape, the rubber bands help turn his subjects into grotesque caricatures of themselves. It's a simple idea with strong visual results.
