Laying Bare - Max Bongard

Walking home after his 18th birthday, Max climbed up some hanging ladders onto a parked train. When he stood up, 25,000 volts of electricity jumped from the cables to his body setting him alight. This is the first of a series of portraits taken of Max, since the accident, laying bare his scar.
