It is a great idea and there are a lot of interesting profiles there. I have seen great work done by the participants: beautiful models, great photographs.

So I have started thinking of my next project. In parallel to working on my portraits project – which will be very difficult as I rely on models to be available – I will start my “What the eyes can’t see” project. I will still reassess the name, but the subject is taking photos using […]
