Smooth Cruzing

Penélope Cruz has broken through barriers of ethnicity, gender, and stereotyping like nobody else, and the pictures by Mario Testino were wonderful. The only element I’m disappointed with is the retoucher’s heavy hand. By taking out the smile lines on either side of Cruz’s mouth on the cover photo, you robbed her of the very character, wit, and genuineness that make her my most beloved actress of all time.

Vogue May Cover and Penelope Cruz Unretouched

The Vogue cover, May 2011 and a candid, unretouched photo of Penélope Cruz. The actress has a radiant beauty that is more about larger-than-life vivacity than digitally ironed skin.

I absolutely recommend Sonya for website design. She has the creativity and the technical know-how but most important of all, she really cares about her work and her clients' success.

Sonya was a completely involved teacher, who cared more about my understanding of ideas and from past animation history and movie makers who tell stories then mere techniques that usually are learned on the job.
