Love Me<\/em> explores the insidious power of the global beauty industry and our collective insecurity, vanity and fear of ageing. Over a period of five years Zed Nelson<\/a> visited eighteen countries across five continents, photographing cosmetic surgeons, beauty queens, soldiers and bodybuilders alongside everyday teenagers, housewives and businessmen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Love Me<\/em> reflects on both the cultural and commercial forces that drive a global obsession with youth and beauty. The project explores how a new form of globalization is taking place, where an increasingly narrow Western beauty ideal is being exported around the world like a crude universal brand. In a series of compelling images, Love Me<\/em> negotiates the boundaries of art and documentary, reflecting a world we have created in which there are enormous social, psychological and economic rewards and penalties attached to the way we look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Love Me<\/em> represent a powerful body of work that forces every one of us to question our own place in a culture that compels us to constantly judge, and be judged, by our appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
