David Clarke This struck me immediately as a possible cover of Vogue magazine from the 1960’s. (I’m old enough to remember). The perfect red rose and matching lipstick are a great foil to the stylish black and white portrait, including the perfectly made up eye which immediately demands ownership of the image and the viewer. Elegance personified and wonderful !!
I wanted to create this photograph as it had been in my mind for a long time. A woman of beauty competing for screen time with the most beautiful of flowers.
