Biography

Steve Dean Mendes was born and raised in a small town in the south of Portugal, Vila Real de Santo António. For the past years he has been based in Belgium. Since last year Steve started working on a project called Project Raw / Under my skin. This series consists of honest and powerful portraits with no make up or photoshop retouching. Project Raw / Under my skin is about self-acceptance, self knowledge, self love. He wants to show that we are all the same but also unique. It's a sort of therapy where emotions are in the centre of it.
