23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Artistic
Portrait of a Young Woman

This photograph is inspired by Gustav Klimt’s sketch The Portrait of a Young Woman (1896–97). While the original carries a sense of drama and tension, my intention was to highlight the subtle contours of feminine beauty and softness.
