In Hentai (anime and manga pornography) the facial expressions of pleasure are referred to as ‘Ahegao’. With this series, photographer & videographer Hélène Mastrandreas wanted to use the sexual facial expression with protruding tongue, to evoke feminine pleasure in a committed and delicate way. By diverting a rather “male gaze” aesthetic, Helene wanted to take back enjoyment & pleasure as a subject of desire!
With the aim to represent several figures of femininity, Helene asked each model an adjective and a color to symbolize their pleasure:
Sonia: “Granny pink, emerald green and multiple”
Joanna: “Blue and water”
Sarah-Megan: “Yellow, creativity and simplicity”
