Some of my pictures lie unedited on my hard drive for years until I discover them. Most of the time it happens when I see a picture somewhere in a gallery that reminds me of an older shoot.
Very often I find images in my files that I didn’t initially see when selecting the images to edit shortly after the shoot. But with the interval of a few years, pictures often look very different. In this case it is a distance of fifteen years. We took this picture well after midnight, towards the end of an 8 hour shoot. It was a time when I could take pictures for hours without a break.
It’s actually a very simple image, I think it gets its power from the model’s facial expression.
