closed open series I

Very nice Nze.

Wonderful image and concept. Love the tonality. My only comment would be what appears to be catchlights on the eyelids!

Thanks for the comment. I will retouch the print to avoid this hot point on the eyelids.
It will look better.

Great concept. What are your models reactions to them? It is interesting to see yourself as you never have before. Seeing the same face side by side with eyes open and closed is an interesting contrast, please keep posting


I have always wondered what I look like with my eyes closed. I stand in front of the mirror with my eyes closed and then quickly open them but I'm never quite fast enough. I never thought of using a camera.

nice....so are these 2.25" prints" or enlarged neg?

These are 7x7 prints from the analog enlarged negative.

beautiful simple image, with wonderful lighting.
