Behind the Lens: There is a Light

This week I wish to look at three images, each of which displays an emotional intensity beyond that normally exhibited in a fashion shoot. By focusing in on the single model, the photographers imbue their portraits with a structured elegance and raw intensity that reaches the very apex of human photography.

The uniting factor behind these photographs is the power of the models’ eyes. By drawing the viewer into the image in such a way, the photographer is able to project more than simply beauty. What we find in these pictures is the emotional connectivity that existis in all great art.
