The Black Eye

The images in Twin Palms Publishers new book, The Black Eye, continues Michal Chelbin’s exploration of the world of athletes and performers.
Breathless, sweaty, and fatigued, the athletes are worn out after a hard training session or fight. During a typical photo shoot, Chelbin makes the athletes change poses and locations several times; sometimes she takes her subjects past the point of exhaustion to help free them from self-conscious expression.
