Faces, ugly and beautiful

I have this book of larger than life-size portaits by Martin Schoeller, most of them of celebrities and politicians.

All well-known faces, though it took me a few moments to place some as they are never seen as starkly as this elsewhere — with the camera square-on to them and forbidden to smile or perform!

It is striking to me that even the most conventionally beautiful faces can be lopsided and flawed-looking, seen at such close range.
