Natasa is the kind of girl who lights up a whole room with her smile. Happily, she smiles most of the time, which makes it so much nicer when she enters our room. 

We did a session about a year ago and that one didn’t work out. Sometimes, with long exposure portraits, the process fails and no portrait is created. This time though, after many times asking and begging, Natasa agreed to give it another try.

The final image shows us a moody image of Natasa, almost sad as she said it herself. That’s why I love the approach of long exposure portraits so much: one can not hide, nor fake, in front of the camera. I capture the real you.
