Study of a photo of the Japanese idol Hirayama Aya from the "miracle" photobook. I wanted to study the effects of a very bright sun and overexposure (of the camera. I wasn't making any remarks about her outfit). I didn't intend to spend so much time in making her face look more like her, but in the end it bothered me to much. It's still not the same, but at least now her face isn't crooked. Or at least, that's what I would tell my mom if she happened to walk in whilst I'm staring at a bikini-clad beauty for 16 hours in a row.

I omitted some details and faded out the background though.
