Renaissance Woman

Model:

This photo was taken as reference for a beautiful oil painting done by Ed Lang for me in exchange for the shoot (he's actually a painter, just takes the photos for reference). I was amazed by the painstaking craftsmanship and high quality of the painting, Mr. Lang is definitely on-par with the old masters. From the skill in which he sets up the reference shoot to his level of sheer talent and discipline with which he carries out the painting - combing over the last detail until everything is 'perfect,' he is a modern-day artistic genius at every level.

He's also a very good person, too. A rare find nowadays!
