Sjoukje & daughter Battice 037

Battice liked these nameless but funny glasses straightaway when she discovered them in the box. Small wonder - it's a nice, mellow frame with asymmetry in the colors on the front. The lenses are plano but with cylinders which cause just that bit of tension in the model's eyes. I like experiments with the effect of prescription lenses on the expression in the eyes of models. Sometimes it's more difficult to pose in glasses that are nearly right than it is in glasses that only create a massive blur. Anyway, I like this portrait very much. This is lovely posing indeed.
