My task was to come up with a more retouched / manipulated version of the image, to take it into a new stage, something that was not possible at that time with the use of photography alone.
The look intended was one faithfull to the original, a classy non airbrushed retouch, preserving the natural and youthfull skin texture of the model, enhancing only certain features for a more polished look.
Last but not least, an ambient was created through the use of color and textures for a mystical environment.
