Folded and Ironed Tulle Beautiful Portraits

British artist Benjamin Shine takes a single sheet of tulle and folds and irons it to create these stunning near photographic portraits.

Shine:

“The idea of ‘painting with fabric’ led to the development of this technique where the portrait image is created through the intricate pleating and pressing of a single length of tulle fabric. The technique aims to utilize the translucent qualities of the tulle fabric to generate various gradients, tones and textures."
