The result. The supernatural beauty of the model gave the image a dreaming atmosphere. The counterlight portrait allowed the image to reach a indefinite mood. Sensual, thoughtful, anxious. This woman is aware of her incredible beauty but she seems to suggest us she's lacking something. Perhaps something that was lost forever.
I want to give my portraits a deep and knowable meaning "asking" my images to spread energy and emotions and sometimes denouncing what I see happening to our world.

entry description
This portrait of the popular latvian model Olga de Mar was created with a complex light setting, a fog machine and some glass objects to create some three dimensional reflections. Because of the really difficult camera settings (especially the f2,0 aperture) we had to try a lot of images before having a good sharpness in the profile of the model. Besides the darkness of the room caused a lot of difficulties to put on focus the camera lens. We managed this problem using a white piece of paper in front of the model and a self timer of 1 sec.The result. The supernatural beauty of the model gave the image a dreaming atmosphere. The counterlight portrait allowed the image to reach a indefinite mood. Sensual, thoughtful, anxious. This woman is aware of her incredible beauty but she seems to suggest us she's lacking something. Perhaps something that was lost forever.
