Melissa Faithful for Art-Sheep
Samantha Fortenberry is a US-based photographer who often experiments with photography and hyper-realistic paintings.
In her ongoing series “Suds and Smiles” different types of people are photographed in their bathtubs. Fortenberry’s models are inside their tub, while objects decorate the colorful set, or even swim around them. The photographer asked her subjects to list things that mean something to them and represent their personality, and designed unique sets for each of them.
The beautiful nude body is creatively displayed in images that objectify the personalities of the portrayed people in the most imaginative way. As the photographer says, “I want to collect a wide variety of people in all shapes and sizes to display the various form of beauty each person has.”
