What a beautiful photo of the Ukrainian woman, Laurin. Absolutely stunning.

And I agree, beautiful images and a great story ;-) Congrats, Laurin! SY

Laurin, the first time I saw this photograph, I thought how AWESOME!!!!!! Not only your work, but the lady who posed. You both deserve an award for your work!!

Yes, She was something else. Gotta get with her again soon.I'll be doing a Gallery show in the fall of these people all printed 30x30 and 40x40. I have about 36 completed so far. Most I won't upload till after the show.working on 2 Long running projects now of dog Portraits in that Forced DOF reality style along with another series on Creatures. Fun stuff.Heres a few samples.This technique will be in the next book "The Beginners Guide to portrait Photography" hopefully due in Late November as part of the 4 book series.

Thanks to Shutterstock for the nice piece and Picking my work to show on the buyers newsletter.
