Nadya 190

This fine portrait of Nadya in strong cat eye glasses marks the end of her extraordinary photo shoot. Nadya is the 63rd Lady behind Crystal Veil.

It was great to visit Cyprus, not just as a tourist but also as a photographer. The atmosphere on the island was nice and friendly. I intend to do more travelling after my retirement in October.

A word of thanks goes to my life partner Nel who kindly agreed to spend a day in Limassol, enabling me to do this photo shoot.

Another word of thanks goes to Rami for his assistance during the photo shoot, including his role as body guard when some youngsters were trying to interfere with the photo shoot.

Another appreciative word goes to Nadya for adding a final touch to the editing of a dozen portraits shown in this documentary.

Nadya, it was quite an experience to work with you. I had high expectations after seeing your great portfolio. It's safe to say that you are an even better model and actress in reality. Good company as well. It was a pleasant afternoon, with fine results and a friendly atmosphere. You managed to keep a lovely balance between professional posing and informal portraits. When the photos appeared on my PC screen, it was immediately obvious that there was a story line to accompany the visual part. Some photo shoots just have that quality. I shared the outline of the story with you and your positive feedback was invaluable.

The story is fiction but some elements in the dialogue are taken form our talks during the actual photo shoot. One such element is that you don't have a pair of glasses yet. There is no need to worry about becoming dependent on glasses. You only have a very mild myopia and it's highly unlikely that it will get worse in the future. It tends to stabilize in the mid twenties, regardless whether you wear glasses or prefer to cope without them. Another element is that you are a very busy young lady, not only in the story but also in real life. I hope that the final script is to your liking.

Nadya, I wish you a glorious continuation of your modelling career and lots of success in your further exploits. And keep dripping good looks!
