Hope
It is images such as this one that give me hope and inspiration. The model’s eyes are just so clear and honest. This is the sort of humility and honesty that I believe can inspire people to be the best they can be.
I am really passionate about running workshops pertaining to images such as these. I have set up a group to promote and feature these workshops.

Tony I love all your work this goes with out saying but in particular this portrait is a awesome favourite absolutely stunning and the title fits perfectly ! (-:
Jim Sugrue
Fantastic portrait Tony – love the crop and lighting.

I’ve actually come back to this picture a phew times, I don’t know if it’s her beauty or wondering what she is thinking….or a little bit of both
Tony Ryan replied
Think that she is very real in this pic. When people’s eyes are without protection I believe they inspire so much in those around them.
Specular
Beautiful image, looks so natural, but stunning at the same time, fab.

This is one of my favorites of yours. It is in the eyes… they are brilliant, but there is something in them… hope is good, but I see more. Actually concern is what I am seeing. Not concern as in worrying, but concern for the good of those around her, a motherly concern. Good shot.
Tony Ryan replied
Thanks Alexia. I think you are right. She has more compassion and care than hope.
Best Wishes Tony.
Arletta
Very pretty. I think I like, best, the overall feel given by the mix of colors.
Ken Thomas

Markezz ...
This is awesome…..there is so much feeling in this shot…..I could write something to this…...it makes me want to talk about what she is feeling…....alone….but not really alone….shit just hit the fan….but still she’ll be ok…....this really is awesome!!!
Tony Ryan replied
Most of my subjects feel life very deeply but struggle with what they feel. At least in the shots I feel they drop their resistance to their confusion and project open emotion. I find that when people are open that they empower others.
Bruce C. Meyer
Here in the States, there has been an ad series for Crest White Strips, which mainly is a series of closeups on the face of the main actor, who I think is your model here. Is that her, is she doing tv ads?
Tony Ryan replied
Hi Bruce,
The lady in the photos lives here in Melbourne and doesn’t model so much. Does mostly promotions. She has a very beautiful face though.
