Thanks Kenneth, That was a Rolli 135MM lens on a 35mm Voigtlander body. Old, but still great equipment...

That is one symmetrical face. Gorgeous. What lens did you use, pray tell?

Thanks Patrick, this was shot with Ilford XP-2, a high speed C41 process B&W film. The fill lighting was a byproduct of the bright sandy beach in Hawaii. Carre is also an expert at focusing ALL she has into the camera. That is what makes the shot, in my opinion. :-)

This is great! Monochrome makes a shot like this happen for sure. I love the natural lighting of the sun reflecting off of her face. Very well taken.
Can you explain more of what you did to achieve this?

A beautifully ethereal portrait.
