Christine, the 'moments de réflexion intime' line is exactly what portrait work should be chasing. Subtle details over big gestures lands every time. Stoked 🎨
The choice to focus on reflection rather than expression, that's the harder move. Most portraits reach outward. Yours sound like they're working with what pulls inward instead. That restraint usually shows up in how much you leave quiet around the face.
