Nude photography is often considered to be risqué, but Canada-based photographer Dylan Hamm wants to challenge the way people see nudity with a revealing photo series that takes a unique approach to the topic.

Hamm's series "Naked Faces," which he started in 2016, is comprised of side-by-side images of 43 people, all of whom were photographed while wearing clothing and while naked. But, rather than photographing their full bodies, Hamm focused on the subjects' faces so the viewer can analyze how a person's facial expression differs while they are clothed and unclothed.

After completing the series, Hamm mixed the photos around, and has yet to reveal when each photo was taken.

INSIDER spoke with the photographer to learn more about his series, which you can see below.
