This portrait captures a hauntingly beautiful reflection through a dirty window, blending texture and emotion into a striking visual narrative. The smudged glass creates layers of mystery, softening the subject’s features while adding an almost painterly effect to the composition. The subtle glow of her eyes and lips peeking through the haze evokes a sense of quiet introspection and allure.
What made this shot special was the imperfection of the window itself—it turned a simple reflection into something poetic and layered, proving that beauty often lies in the unexpected.
Excellent
Thank you, Mariano. It’s funny how a dirty window can completely change your perspective. I’ll never look at one the same way again—it turned out to be such a perfect prop.
Very original
Thank you, Celia! This photo holds a special place—it’s featured on the cover of my photo book, The Melbourne Portraits Project. The cover itself is a mosaic, created from all the photos in the book, bringing the entire collection together in one image.
