01 ETHIOPIAN GIRLS BY GIULIO MONTINI
Strong eye contact is the key to making a good portrait and Giulio’s nailed it in this image with his two young subjects staring straight down the lens barrel, which makes a very engaging shot. He has focused perfectly, making sure the nearest eyes are pin-sharp, and using a mid aperture of f/6.3 to ensure both faces are also in focus. It’s a wonderful shot, made even better with his dramatic mono processing.
