The Body. Umesh in digital

Picture taken during waiting for contact print. More or less. I feel really happy that I've chosen Umesh for my model. His face is so beautiful and soft. There are milions stoires to tell, but still is something really mysterious and unseen...

Close-up portraits by Martin Schoeller

Influence for the body project. He fascinated me by his close-ups. Not to mention that there are 'so' famous people in his portfolio. Thing is that by dealing with subjects, lighting, production and styling he got portraits about totally different person, which people can't know from cinema, newspapers. 

For example portrait of Angelina Jolie

This 'brutal' close-up captures the actress and her legendary beauty.  Through her focused 

eyes and firm expression, the energy and determination in her private life.

With my model I would like to do it in kind of that way. Because of that I assume and strongly agree that the eyes are the mirror of the soul; I want to have my focus only on eyes, with really shallow depth of field. With that settings, I would like to try to show and take as much as possible from person in front of me.
