Some time ago, I saw a movie on TV. The movie (cannot remember the name) was about a man who fell in love with a woman just by seeing her eyes. After that he decided to draw a portrait of her with every part of her face covered, only the eyes were showing. After seeing that movie, I decided to take picture of someone just like that, with only the eyes revealing. This picture that you see before you is an accidental version of my work. It happened that I accidentally covered the camera lens with my finger and the focus came to be only on the eyes of the person you see in the picture. I thought this picture is the best example of light, because the light of camera is only focusing on the eyes that felt important. Similar to the lights in theater that makes the audience attention focus on actors instead of anything else, the light of the camera is focusing on her eyes inspiring others that the whole body or whole face is not always needed to represent a character or emotion or even an act.
Nice image and great parallels to what we can do as LD's in theatre to focus attention
