Artist Strips Away Hollywood’s Glitz and Glamour in This One-of-a-Kind Photo Series

When we think of Hollywood, we visualize red carpets, fancy dresses, beautiful faces, and larger-than-life personalities. In the Hollywood Street Characters Series, photographer Ken Hermann strips away all the glitz and glamour from Hollywood’s most iconic figures, as he sets them on backgrounds that are seemingly more appropriate for regular Joes like us. The huge contrast between the attention-grabbing subject and the blandness of the setting is what makes this series of images truly remarkable. Hermann feels this is a more honest depiction of Hollywood actors once all the lights and cameras are gone.
