Fuego Faces

Posted on

Photographer Douglas Levy has accumulated quite a collection of hot sauces, some he hasn’t even opened yet. Some are no spicier than ketchup, while others are only “slightly less spicy that commercial grade pepper spray,” according to the Scoville rankings.

So in order to get a handle on what he had, he decided to invite some forty friends and family members to a tasting and get their reactions. To ensure all the focus is on their facial expressions, Levy dressed everyone in white and placed them on a white background. It’s pretty clear some are hotter than others. Here is an edited gallery from the series Fuego Faces.
