I don't know how much retouching you did but the texture on the skin is excellent IMO.

Great shot!!

Every time this image pops back up I love it even more. Probably one of my favourite shots of the year from any photographer.

Wow! the rim light separating the chin from the neck shows such attention to detail

This model is simply stunning. I would love to see more of her work! May I ask her name?

Rae Caraballo

Valeria. She is a friend of mine, not a professional model (don't work as a model)

there are some photos that we will never forget them, either it's the story or the rareness of it.

this one might not have some crazy unique thing about it visually, but I can not forget this one because what you captured of matuzko (if I'm not mistaken her name) is beyond a normal portrait, maybe it's her eyes, maybe it's the light, maybe it's both and your truly incredible talent in directing the scene.

always one of my favorite photos ever. for sure it is for many others.
