Photography By Pascal Renoux

Pascal Renoux is self-taught photographer who live and works in France, taking portraits that are soft around the edges and that bring to mind the earlier days of photography when the medium was still raw—but not nearly as sexy as it is today. While there are landscapes and still-lifes in his online portfolio, Pascal's work is primarily about people, naked as the day they were born. Mose are posed in awkward positions, lashing out as if they were angry or frightened, creating the overall effect of exposing individuals as they are. The bodies come in all shapes and sizes too, which makes the images much more moving than your standard model in the buff photoblog. Not there's anything wrong with those, but we could all use a little more variety in our lives, right?
