發現不完美的美麗！攝影師Peter DeVito：暗瘡不應成為讓你感到羞愧的地方

每天勤力敷Mask，花一小時化妝，然後又花一小時洗臉卸妝⋯⋯無非都是想讓自己變得更完美。但其實轉頭去想又可能是接受自己的缺陷反倒需要更大勇氣，我們才拼了命，想要成為一個更完美的人。

攝影師Peter DeVito至小就受到滿臉暗瘡的困擾。人類都難免喜歡以貌取人，別人對他奇異的目光嚴重影響他的精神狀態。後來，Peter DeVito將自己的暗瘡拍成特寫照片再加上標語發表到自己的社交網站，竟得到了不少人的共鳴。更開始有人希望他能夠在作品中討論白蝕症、雀斑、胎記等皮膚狀況，所以最近亦邀來白蝕症的女模特兒Diandra Forrest等人，透過Peter一貫的作品特色，抒發自己的感受，以鼓勵更多人明白身上的缺陷不應成為讓我們感到羞愧的地方。

Bitch, be humble. Thanks @alanaahope for helping me with the stickers and everything?

#PerfectDoesNotExist * This is a picture of my mom❤ She has melasma, a skin condition that causes brown patches to appear on her skin. The patches grow and get darker whenever she goes in the sun.

平時在社交網站上Po一張相可能就要花十五分鐘的時間去修補臉上的瑕疵，Peter的作品下，每一個模特兒的暗瘡、紅印都表露無遺。他說：這一切都是正常的，不要讓它令自己感受到有所缺失。

@peterdevito x @chnge x @artdr3am ? Had the opportunity to shoot a campaign for CHNGE, a completely sustainable brand that donates 50% of its profits to NGOs – can't wait to share the rest of the images with y'all?

換個角度去想，可能正是生命中的那一點不完美成為我們想要進步的動力。其實不完美，才美。「Perfect skin is boring」今天起，拿起一面鏡子，勇敢面對生命中那份不完美的美麗。
