"For the past 2 years, I have been working on female beauty through portraits illustrating skin texture, focus with depth of field, grain and light. Red Mask is one of those memorable portraits that is part of this series. My work is to reveal above all the natural beauty of a woman without resorting to artifice, but for Red Mask I wanted to accentuate the almost ""supernatural"" strength of women, a bit like a wonder woman. The simplicity is mixed with the supernatural and sometimes this is done naturally by seizing the right moment, sometimes by adding an extra stroke as on Red Mask. More broadly, I'm constantly looking for that ""switch"" that makes the natural pass into the supernatural."
