This Photographer Brings Awareness To Diversity Through Portrait Photography (40 New Pics)
Interview With ArtistBrock Elbank is a London-based photographer known for his stunning portraits that celebrate individuality and diversity. His work features unique individuals with striking features, including freckles, beards, and scars. Through his lens, Elbank showcases the beauty of people who often fall outside of traditional beauty standards.
In a previous Bored Panda post about Brock, we included a part of the project he had been working on since 2015. It was focused on capturing the beauty of freckled individuals. Elbank was surprised to hear stories from some of his subjects who had been bullied or rejected because of their appearance, yet they now proudly showcased their freckles for the world to see. Through this project, Elbank sought to present these individuals in a positive light and raise awareness about the beauty of diversity.

I was pretty sure it was the same person and now I'm quite shocked that it's not
I don’t have an issue with anyone for how they look. But I have never heard (in my community anyway) of someone being discriminated for freckles? I understand that people other skin differences that are more dramatic being picked on by the ignorant, but freckles? I actually think they are particularly pretty! Like more so than a plain face. Maybe people with this many freckles can share their experiences. I didn’t even realize it was a point to discriminate on. But then, I guess asking discrimination to make sense is where my thinking breaks down!
Beautiful girl! Wish we could see her smile. But she has elegant hands.
He kinda looks like someone who could play a greek god in percy jackson
Asians and freckles.... not something we usually brag about. She is phenomenal.
I find it really interesting that vitiligo seems most common around the eye and mouth. Is there a reason? Just a genuine question 😁🩷
I don't know if they are, but sometimes people just give off bisexual vibes
I think a makeup artist could have have a field day with her! NOT TO COVER!! Enhance!
I thought we were supposed to be looking at those mesmerizing eyes. It wasn’t for a minute or two until I finally found/saw that
Do those pretty eyes have triangular pupils or is it a trick of the light?
It would be fun to know what Mr Elbank said at that moment to catch such an open smile
I think her scar accentuates her lovely eyes nicely.....quite very nicely, indeed!!!!!
Haven’t we seen him before?!? Isn’t this #52 the same person as #42?!? I certainly think so!!! Do you agree?!?!?
She's very pretty. The freckles on her face look like a constellation
I wonder if his eyes are just as piercing in full color? He is a truly handsome fella!

Each person photographed is unique and beautifully photographed. I found beauty and was geniunely captivated by each person in a different way. My comments to myself were not "ew" "scar" or "gross". My comments were "wow, what a smile" "What beatiful freckles" "What beautiful eyes". Each person is, beautiful, the photographs have captured their beauty perfectly. I hope that each person sees their photo and has said "Wow, that's me!"
I don't see why some people have such an issue with uncommon skin colors or patterns. I believe it looks beautiful ❤️
