Reality of Love original nude portrait by David Allio

David's Comments:
"After a period where my work was influenced primarily by French Impressionist, it was time to do something different. My response was to collaborate with this edgy model and create a portrait that was just the opposite of her existing portfolio while still carrying an element of her personality. The goal was a portrait that would be soft, yet defiant. The obvious difference between this artwork and most Pre-Raphelite photography is that this image is in color rather than the traditional sepia tones. However, this image was intended to be more in the painting style than the photography style of that period."
