OWS/99 Faces ProjectOWS/99 Faces Project
OWS keeps hitting the News. The Wave keeps spreading and what most People see on the Media, Worldwide, are either scenes of collective protest and demonstration or clashes with Police. “Zuccotti” is now more a collective identity rather than a physical place.
As well as OWS is kinda forgotten to be made of individuals.
Today we are extremely excited to present new S4C member August Bradley project “99 FACES”.
August is a commercial and fine art photographer and filmmaker based in Los Angeles. As a Hasselblad Master, he received numerous Graphis Gold Awards, has been chosen for the PDN Photo Annual and received several IPA “Photographer of the Year Awards” (click here to know more about August)
Our Paths crossed on The New York Times LENS and decided to join forces to keep giving faces and voices to those that are seldom heard and seen (have a look at the brand new S4C project on the Low Resolution Generation and join).
August 99 FACES project is outstanding.

“I pursued this project because the OWS movement seemed like this big mystery. There are no front people, there are no personalities widely identified with it. It’s as if the entire movement was behind a mask. Obviously there are specific people involved, and I was curious about who they were. I don’t ever remember seeing a movement that did not have clearly identifiable personalities associated with it, the mystery of it was intriguing to me.”
“I’m also fascinated with faces, they are endlessly interesting to me. And the idea of telling a story through a series of faces is particularly exciting to me.

Most of my work has been with models and actors that I have transformed to communicate ideas in my head. I have increasingly become excited about discovering unique people, and revealing aspects of people not typically seen. So I have committed to doing more portrait work, hopefully in a penetrating, revealing way — a different kind of look into the eyes.”
