I took this picture in such a way as to emphasize the woman's seductiveness rather than her physical nudity. The woman is Dorka, a young and talented Hungarian model with whom I've been working for two years. This picture is part of a series of nudes we shot last summer in a disused quarry, using natural light. To emphasize Dorka's seductive power, I added structure to her eyes during retouching. I then decided against color to reduce her erotic charisma and opted for sepia to add a timeless touch to her beauty. Timeless to me means beauty that lasts over time and survives fashions, a bit like classical music. Hence the choice of the title. As for the Hungarian adjective in the title, it's a deliberate choice because I must confess that it was in Hungary that I shot with models whose seductive charisma is the most powerful I've known as a photographer in recent decades.
