This Little Girl Is Only 5, But She’s Already A Famous Model Thanks To Her Dad’s Crazy Idea

Bill Gekas is an Australian photographer with a particular liking for the artwork of the Old Masters, such as Vemeer and Rembrandt. He wanted to recreate their work through photography, but wasn’t sure of the best way to do it… until he got the crazy idea of letting his own five-year-old daughter be the subject.

At first, these look like beautiful, ultra-realistic paintings from a famous museum.

Some of the scenes create a mellow, almost morose feeling, with the girl staring blankly towards the camera.

Others are quite vibrant, with lively colors, creatures, and a sense of curiosity.

Just like the original paintings, these photos represent far more than can be seen on the surface.

There is no doubt, the portraits are striking…
