Portrait of a Doll Maker

Because if there is a an expression of Being that is poetically beautiful, that is the Feminine.  Anouk De Groote, my friend and talented doll maker (@pantovola.art), has gifted my lens of her ethereal presence and posed for me in between the decaying walls of an abandoned farm in the Belgian countryside.

During the photoshoot the light was falling on her dress and her delicate skin like in a Caravaggio painting. I could not help but notice how her hands, the crucial tool for her craftsmanship, were just perfect. I happen to fall in love with details I see in the World. I think I had fallen in love with these hands.
