Surreal Painted Faces Make Us Question What We Are Seeing. By My Modern Met

Racing Fashion love photography by Alexander Khokhov and Make Up by Valeriya Kutsan

Moscow-based photographer Alexander Khokhlov explores the visually transformative power of paint and makeup in his 2D or not 2D and Angry Beards projects. Both bodies of work are part of the photographer's overarching Art of Face series that includes an ever-growing collection of beauty shots featuring intriguing applications of face paint. We've seen his Weird Beautyseries in which the models were dramatically painted in black and white and now Khokhlov is back with artistic color.

Working with makeup artist Valeriya Kutsan and retouching expert Veronica Ershova, Khokhlov manages to capture women and men as surreal versions of themselves, inspired by two-dimensional posters, comics, pop art, paintings, pixelated images, and cartoon characters. The project explains: "Valeriya used different techniques of face painting so you can see a lot of variations - from sketch and graphic arts to water-colour and oil-paintings. This is a combination of interesting make-ups, studio photography experiments and careful retouching."

Racing Fashion Relaxes at Emirate Stakes Day in Myer Marquee

Emirate Stakes Day is always known to be the most relaxed day of the carnival and even though Racing Fashion TV is still taping and snapping, we do notice a more nonchalant crowd with less who is who and more relaxed punters.

The clothes are more demure and it is really a wrap up from a hectic week of hats, fashion and everyone relaxes and simply enjoys.

Derby, Cup and Oaks are really the 'Fashion' days and Demi Brereton kindly takes over in the 'Under 18' so I can soak up some slowing down enjoyment after the Rat Race of previous days.

The Myer Marquee was so much more relaxed than other days and as usual we do most of our marquee hopping on Emirates stakes day.

Myer hosted great Australian Hospitality with a mild French influence with the Mumm Champagne, but was rustic as a wool shed ready for shearing.

I love being a fly on the wall the last day, so here you may enjoy some snaps of people being people! Enjoy. x
