Stock Shot Project

I have been doing variations of this stock photo theme for decades. In this version I had the model looking in the direction of the window light of our studio.  The stylist poured the tear and I photographed it with the Nikon D4 and 105mm macro lens as the tear slowly fell down her cheek.  I asked the model to keep her mouth partially open because it seemed to add a more immediate feeling of sadness to the situation.
