@retoyma Six years ago I photographed casting, style out, and runway shows at NYFW ss11. That experience gave an insight on the industry on multiple levels. At night in my hotel room I started a series that keep returning to- portraits of the models from the behind scenes candids I shot during the day. The human and imperfect beauty is what I want to convey in paint. Hopefully my audience sees their vulnerability and strength simultaneously through my fashion portraits.

Portrait of Tanya Dziahileva during SS11 casting. Acrylic on 11x14 Bristol paper. Tanya was a star and favorite on the runway and in campaigns. According to her official Wiki she has continued in the fashion industry by studying Fashion design.
