Default my very own cover (i am so bragging)

it is not that i have not shot covers before, in fact, this is one of the means to pay my bills. this one is special. it's a cover of the fist issue of an art magazine Portfolio published in Moscow. Not only it is the first, but also it features 96 pages of my photos and nobody else
incidentally, more than a half of the pictures there (practically everything that is not medium format) were shot with M8.

Very strong portrait. Playful and serious.

Congratulations. This is very artsy and looks like something suitable for a contemporary art cover. Most of us have never had that privilage.

Cheers,

The reflection in the glasses and the pointing feet are particularly effective

Great! And does the magazine have a website where we can see more of your work?

Though I'm glad I don't have a son who wants to date her, congratulations on the cover and excellent job in appropriate mood, color, light, detail, set-up and framing.

by default the site is in russian, but they have english version.
although on the web site they have only work that they currently sell.

Irakly, very cool image. I guess my earlier comments didn't get posted. You should post a series of the images that represent the work.
