Portrait 2nd place winner

"We can be heroes just for one day" singing David Bowie in 1977, perhaps today more than "heroes" would be more accurate model. In the age of Facebook, the fastest visibility, digital photography and photoshop, every girl, even for a single day, is tempted by the idea of ​​the reputation and the idea of ​​the model. How true is this thing and what is real? Where the line between being a real model in the newspapers and a model for a few hours.
The ease of being visible to many people in a short time can really lead to something concrete in time and do not go out after a few hours? I tried to tell this, create the skin of some girls, who in life do anything and not models, that limit today almost imperceptibly with each other and a model on the cover of Vogue.
All this passes through the most different types of aesthetic woman and ethnicity.
The gap between the true and the false millimeter, sometimes imperceptible.
But what is true and false today?
maybe it is both.

The full project consists of 20 images.
