Leah 158



These tiny but refined Zenni glasses were bought three years ago, after receiving a couple of reactions from high myopic ladies on a newspaper article about my up coming exhibition of portrait photography. One of the models was Petra and we did a fine photo shoot in a park. The other model sent me her prescription which was -11.00 / -11.75. As she was seven months pregnant at the time and looked quite tired, I suggested that we could do her photo shoot after her baby was born. Knowing her preference for small glasses, I ordered two Zenni pairs in her prescription. Unfortunately, the photo shoot never took place because her child was born in a severely handicapped condition.

The glasses were subsequently used in several photo shoots for my second weblog (e.g. Karen 277, Jolien 204, Marieke 291, Léonne 184). They came handy again during my photo shoot with Claudine, a model with a small PD. Claudine is a lady in her forties but most opticians advised her to choose a frame for children because of the PD. Needless to say, Claudine did not like that sort of easy advice so she was quite interested in doing a photo shoot for me. After seeing the portraits, she chose these Zenni glasses for use in everyday life. With this in mind, I brought the glasses to Ireland. Meanwhile, fashion has changed and small frames are out, but Leah kindly agreed to pose in them anyway. It yielded a good series and in my opinion, the glasses - especially the oval eyebrow line in the frame - suited Leah quite well. Her posing is great.
