Agnes Lloyd-Platt (@agnesvita) wants to change the way you see people, especially women. “Beauty in magazines has been the same for years – similar faces pushing similar ideals – and people are looking for more these days. They want to see the wider spectrum of beauty,” the London-based photographer says. “And there is a whole facial landscape to explore.” Of course, casting the right model is key. Once she has her subject, Agnes typically works with makeup artists — or even plays that role herself — to highlight their features in interesting ways. “It’s natural for me to consider how the light fills spaces on a model’s face or how their eyelashes might cast shadows.” Plus, she says, “It means I get to explore the subject’s face before I even pick up the camera.”
