From my series "Myths and Fairytales." This is NOT a digitally manipulated photograph.

Medusa is a Greek myth about a lady with snakes for hair. She was so ugly that you would turn you to stone if you looked at her.

edit: new file with watermark, photo being abused online too often.

An incredible concept for "Medusa," Cyril, more moving and powerful than any digital rendering of a woman with literal snakes protruding from her head. No, this has such an immediate, threatening, perversely dark power. Totally respecting you, not only for your concept and concise photographic skill, but for the incredible make-up work (I feel badly terming it "make-up," when "painting" seems to be what it truly is!). Praise for your model, as well, in that she seems to be so committed to the same vision. Brilliant work, Sir.

Thank you very much... it really was more of a planned "accident" as I had no idea how it would turn out really, but I am quite proud of it myself if I may say so :D

Even after three years, this has lost none of its technical merit - and the image is a stunner in itself, anyway ;)

Thanks! I presume you mean that you first saw this 3 years ago?
