This is a close-up portrait of a young woman named Penelope, photographed in February 2006. She is looking downward with her eyes nearly closed, wearing purple-toned smoky eye shadow and natural lip color. Her auburn-brown hair falls loosely around her face, and her freckled complexion is rendered in warm, earthy tones. The shallow depth of field created by the 85mm lens on a Canon EOS 20D produces a beautifully blurred background, drawing all attention to her face. The overall mood is contemplative and intimate, suggesting a candid, unposed moment.
