A rich and flaming torrent of red hair falls over the eyes of this nude Ophelia. The crimson tendrils of hair curl and wave, in slight contrast to the glowing buds and petals of the freesias in the backdrop.

Isolating specific parts of the female body allows the artistic duo to place highlights on the sensuality that lives within and reminds the viewer of something they might themselves have experienced.

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. See less
