Marta applied to a modelling agency and was rejected. Andrzej then saw her test photos by chance just a few months later and thats how Marta became interested in being photographed. The photograph is interesting not because of the fright it triggers, but because of a collision of two Martas. Thankfully Marta has now undergone treatment for her anorexia and is progressing well.

perhaps there is something to learn here :think:

One of the most powerful portraits that Ive ever seen. The technical quality, lighting and composition are matched by the extremely emotive power of the subject.
With this beautiful young face and what looks like an aged body, this was a clear winner, despite the harrowing nature of the image. The photo almost defies belief. Its also helped by clear, simple lighting and composition. What this does demonstrate is how a good, simple treatment of such a remarkable subject can still produce a memorable image.
A heartbreaking photo that must have required a great deal of trust between photographer and subject.
