Very nice Matthew. Is it a poster behind a broken bag?

No I treated a plexiglas that I covered with black plastic and using a beauty dish to have no reflections I created this shot

Even better. I really like it. Especially the fact that I am left with the doubt about who is watching whom... like a first intersection of glances at the tearing of a veil. Great

L'idea è buona, compreso il trattamento del plexiglass.
E' una immagine che si presta ad alcune riflessioni sul rapporto tra lo spazio anteriore e quello posteriore alla superficie dell'immagine, con conseguenze sulla percezione del messaggio che volevi dare.
La superficie di plastica, fotografata frontalmente e fino ai bordi del frame, costituisce una barriera bidimensionale estesa, una sorta di muro, che divide noi osservatori da quello che c'è dietro.
Sorge un dubbio: siamo noi ad essere chiusi dentro la plastica osservati da un soggetto che è libero di guardarci oppure è lui bloccato dietro la plastica e noi riusciamo a scorgerlo solo grazie alla lacerazione nel muro?
La luce dominante è al di qua della plastica attribuendo volume al nostro spazio. Invece, il soggetto è molto vicino alla lacerazione. Sembra che, per guardare verso di noi, debba stare con naso e bocca quasi a contatto della plastica. Noi invece siamo distanti dalla superficie e liberi di muoverci. Pertanto, la percezione che ne ricavo è che sia lui ad essere bloccato dietro plastica e plexiglass, non chi osserva l'immagine.
Fatta questa premessa, se l'intenzione era di trasmettere la sensazione di un soggetto oppresso o attonito, credo che l'immagine sarebbe ancora più efficace senza la zona grigia a destra dell'orecchio.
A differenza del viso, che è correttamente illuminato dalla luce nel nostro spazio attraverso la lacerazione, la zona grigia a destra dell'orecchio rivela l'esistenza di uno spazio ulteriore dietro il soggetto. Non si tratta di uno spazio oscuro e ristretto, ma illuminato addirittura da una luce diversa da quella del visto. L'esistenza di questo spazio posteriore, ampio e illuminato, toglie l'effetto oppressivo: il soggetto lo percepisco come semplicemente avvicinato alla lacerazione, non costretto a starci, anche se, in questo scenario, è un po' strano che stia così vicino alla plastica non essendo costretto.
E' facile vedere come cambia la percezione, coprendo con la mano la parte grigia: l'immagine diventa subito bidimensionale, come se il soggetto fosse avvolto dalla plastica.
Ovviamente sono considerazioni personali legate alla mia percezione dell'immagine.
EDIT: vedo ora che a Biga è venuto lo stesso dubbio. Sorriso

Thank you very much for the in-depth analysis
You are right maybe it was better not to have the empty space beyond the edge
I will try to take other photos of this type.
I am also studying to build a support for a larger plexi so as to also make half bust or whole figures

I really like it.
A couple of considerations, so, at first glance.
It is a portrait goes beyond gender, it could very well be a man as a woman. To me, for example, that eye and eyebrow reminded me of a series of photographs by Eleonora Duse.
That plexiglass covered with black plastic "torn" made me think of Schopenhauer's Veil of Maya, but here the speech would be long, so I will stop here.
Anyway, great photo, congratulations.

It attracts a lot of attention and gives the idea of how with photography you can develop many ideas even far from that "perfect" world that is fashion photography. I ask if by chance you have been a little influenced by Nino Migliori's images and in any case excellent photos

I'm honest, I've always watched and I've always been influenced by many authors, but I've always followed Nino Migliori too little.
I had been thinking about similar shots for a period also because I followed Nick Fancher who I really like in his works
https://www.instagram.com/nickfancher/
But I admit that there is one photographer in particular who pushed me in this direction and it is Giuseppe Gradella
https://www.instagram.com/giuseppegradella/
I was struck by his shots and since I had already tried to use glass and similar things and when I saw his shots much better than mine I thought I had to change technical approach and that I was doing something wrong so I studied and tried and this is my interpretation

In my head there is always the concept that we show others only a part of ourselves, or a false and constructed appearance.
So the use of "barriers" that deform, partially hide or alter the perception of the subject has always been something I have sought and used since the beginning

I am very far from the "conceptual" photo having for years had to meet the right needs of customers, and that is why it attracts me a lot.
