By looking at the picture, you might think it is merely a combination of heavy brush strokes with perfect colors and shadows. Pretty old school, right! That is what I thought when I first took a glance at Alexa Meade's portraits. But I was taken aback for a moment when I realized that the portraits were actual humans.
