When I thought about this portrait I wanted to give an ethereal
and subtle air in which the woman captures all the attention
before our very eyes. This is why I choose this so soft lighting,
in line with the smoothness of the skin of this woman. And this
illumination, however, reveals everything, without hiding any
details.
Being a partial nude I did not want to make it provocative, so
both turn as the languid nod of the head give the work a
timeless subtlety (hence the finish old photographic techniques
as opposed to the relative present zipper bodice). The woman
closed eyes end to confer that sense of abandonment subtle
indifference, eliminating any sexual content to the image.
All this and the chromatic range used provided with a warm
sensuality to this photographic artwork.
