softened with Neat Image.

Beautiful B&W potrait, very good skin tones and really lovely model.

There is something in several portraits that make me wonder about feelings, thoughts, customs, and many subjects related to life. When you make a portrait whit the allowance of the person you are shooting, there is something very strange that seems to figure the image that is going to emerge from the celluloid. There is a huge distance between shooting an object than a mind, when you make a portrait you are showing a mind that is interacting with yours. In that moment you are trying to construct an image of that mind that you have in front of you; however, the human being that is in front of the camera shows you what he thinks he looks like. It's very difficult to answer some questions about portraiture, perhaps it would be interesting to begin with these ones, Why do we make portraits? How do we make portraits? And for whom? Perhaps you think these are dull questions; however, I would like to challenge you to answer them. I make portraits; in the last two years I began a series of portraits that became an obsession, when I see this selection of portraits I doubt about the possibility of showing mines in a similar selection, there is something different I can't describe. 03:05 a.m. Buenos Aires, Argentina, South America.
