Portrait
Perfection
all images by @ninavgilera
Niña Gilera (@ninavgilera) is a portrait
photographer from the PicsArt
community who has a startling
ability to reach a sky high standard of
beauty, sincerity, and stylishness in
her photographs. Her portraits are so
seamlessly cool, they would hold up
against the work of any world-class
fashion photographer. These photos
are a perfect blend of models with
amazing camera presence, edgy hair,
stylish clothing, and Niña’s spot on
camera work and direction.
Niña’s talent for creating the cool,
impenetrable varnish of high-fashion
photography is undeniable, but she
has an equal ability to simultaneously
break down the wall between her
camera and her subjects to create
a sense of naturalism in her work.
Though each portrait achieves a level
of perfection rarely found in the world
around us, they all remain relatable
and avoid feeling contrived. None of
her photos feel posed or acted out. The
clothes are impeccable, the people are
beautiful, the resolution is stunning,
yet when we look into the eyes staring
back at us from Niña’s portraits, we see
the fixed gazes of real human beings,
unapologetic for being cooler than
everybody else.
