Sohaila 121



An extreme - but not really "over the top" - portrait of Sohaila posing in ultra heavy leopard glasses with traditional myodisc lenses, Rx -25. Note the double image of the model's eye make-up: tiny in the "bowl" and magnified in the carrier lens. A thumb rule is that each minus diopter makes the image of the eyes 2% smaller. If so, these glasses reduce the eyes to half their real size. The balance between eyes and lips is changed here in extremis. Still, this is a credible portrait because of Sohaila's marvelous posing, against all odds. Great!
