After borrowing his dentist’s camera, he began experimenting on models, explaining, “I was trying it out on the things I like; naked bodies!. I found out that I could see things I’ve never seen before – I could be closer to a body than I was ever.” Casting ‘anybody who wanted to be a part of it’, the photographer found inspiration in the less appreciated places, made unique by his new lens. “I’m surprised by parts sometimes,” he tells us. “The back, the neck, all these parts I usually don’t really care about, but they’re really special up close.” Kaaden’s fascination with the nude form is more evident than ever before, “I was always fascinated by the body and nudity is always a part of my work,” he says. “It’s about sex. If you have sex with someone you are super close, but most of the time you don’t really see what’s happening. Maybe this will let you feel the same way – by being intimate with these pictures... somehow!” See more of Kaaden's work here Photography by Peter KaadenEscape the algorithm!
