Her golden hair tumbles down from her head onto a carpet of flowers. The flowers, however, are not real and have been printed onto a vast backdrop that delivers a trompe l'oeil effect to the portrait.

Tortora & Travezan play on the contrast of dimensions and proportions in this portrait. While the floral backdrop is so vast and flat, the flowers leaning gently on the arms of this Ophelia are indeed real.

The richness of this trompe l'oeil effect is diffused throughout the portrait, and reveals a harmonious balance between the sensuality of seen nudity and the sensuality of an implied nudity, which on this occasion has infinitely more presence\.

Photography duo Tortora & Travezan create vibrant portraits that combine nude and still life.

David Tortora and Jaime Travezan met in London in 2006, where both were pursuing creative careers. Following their first collaboration on fashion editorials and portraiture, they soon presented their first fine art photography project, "Galatea".

They continue this adventurous and uncompromising marriage of colour and close-up nudes in "Flora", their second fine-art series that celebrates nature and the sensuous freshness of spring. Labeled by Maker,Numbered See less
