Artist's Comments


Never been so alone as I was on my way to you
Traveling on a lonely road and chasing a fading rainbow
The road seems longer with every step I take
A storm is about to silence my thoughts and so I break
A tear in my eye reflects us passing by
I'll still be on my way even when I arrive
So allow me to look you in the eye, whisper my final goodbye

Please, take a second to read the words. I feel it's more important here than my other pieces. It really completes my thoughts and message in this one.
Experimental work for me, not my usual style of work. I almost never do modeling work, but I would love your feedback on that. I was looking for something to express something beautiful, yet have a very dark feeling to it, something to show the beauty, but have the expression and concept as well. Taken with a Canon 15mm F2.8 Fisheye, witch is a very unlikely lens for portraits or modeling. I did a few with a regular lens, but it simply didn’t interest me to do the usual modeling shots. I really pushed for something different.

I darkened the background a bit to bring her out. If you want to se the regular version --> [link]

Very nice!
The consept is great! And the atmosphere!
I love the sort of "flow" around the girl, and the sky.

Very good job!

In a way, it looks like she was placed there after the background was taken, because I noticed a glow on the left side of her body and the right side of the hood. Maybe that's just me. Otherwise I like it.

Your work has taken a different direction, but it's definitely a good one :D

model colours tones etc are jsut great..

i am not sure though about the mask around her.. its a little bit too much obvious especially over her head (i realise thats its hard to do it.... but.. still is a bit hard not to see...)

The clothe combination is truly something different, you've really pushed the edge with this one. However, what disturbs me in this piece are the eyes, how they seem unauthentic, not real to her true nature - but maybe that is a good thing. Just maybe that is the whole aim of it, to overly push the good taste of modeling and perhaps even satirize the ridiculous clothing choices the so called fashion is all about.

Hm, this indeed made me think. What my first reaction was to this picture was that I felt utterly taken aback, in a negative way too. The piece felt ugly, surreal even. But the strong underlying message in this deviation has me keeping my thumbs up for this.
