What is the popular face of the young generation in Korea, where beauty standards are ever changing? The ideal face of one decade looks nothing like the next.

I posted a social advertisement: “looking for a model to represent the new Korean beauty, age between 16 to 27.” The people who responded were famous on Facebook for their looks, famous from reality shows, aspiring actresses, models, and reporters.

Casting Call is an anthropological study in the way photography has been used since its very beginning: the camera as an instrument for recording, comparing, and classifying faces. I photographed each person the same way, and let the faces themselves show.
