This portrait captures a dreamlike quality, with delicate textures of lace, tulle, and angelic wings enhancing the subject’s gentle pose. I love how the soft lighting emphasizes her pastel hair and floral crown, creating a scene of quiet introspection. The contrast between her ethereal look and the raw floor adds depth and intrigue.
This image is featured in The Melbourne Portraits Project: A Photographic Ode, a photo book celebrating the stories and creative spirit of Melbourne, available on my website (link below). The project invites you to explore moments like this—fleeting, layered, and deeply human—through the lens of artistry and emotion.
