Peter de Potter: I’m not a writer, so I have to put everything I want to say in my images, even if I show 200. For me, using the face and the body is as natural as breathing, especially a naked body. I’m very happy when people see that it’s not about revelation or sexiness – it’s actually the contrary. It’s more like bringing a sense of purity or even anonymity to the idea of a man or a boy, or a person. In a way, I think that the body and the unclothed body is a very, very powerful carrier to drive a point. The challenge is always not to go into the idea of sexiness, but at the same time to make it as powerful and as normal as possible. There’s a lot of nudity around, both male and female, but it’s still sort of stuck in this idea of seductiveness; the gaze is always about seductiveness or maybe affirmation. I don’t want to go into that territory. It’s always, always a very fine line and I hope that I’m getting that message across.
