Dylan Hamm is a photographer based in Vancouver, British Columbia. Recently he came up with a unique photo project titled “Naked Faces” where he took side-by-side portraits of people with and without clothes and asked viewers if they could recognize in which one they’re nude.

“The impetus for this project stemmed from a question I’ve thought about for years. In short – What level of nonverbal facial expressions do we show without being conscious of them? I set out to prove the notion that people show more on their face than they are aware,” writes Dylan on his project page. “The purpose of this was to demonstrate the differing facial expressions between clothed and not, to physically capture evidence of the impact that something as simple as being naked can have on subtle facial expressions.”

The subjects’ reactions were greatly different – some were laughing and making jokes, while others remained calm and looked shy. “As an artist, this series isn’t one that is culminated with the answering of the question asked, rather, it has become an investigation that is ongoing. It has raised questions about gender stereotypes, the subconscious, and the way we change imperceptibly to ourselves and perceptibly to others,” says the photographer.

Check out Dylan’s portraits in the gallery below – and can you recognize which of the subjects are naked?
