The appeal of a person is her true face. Searching the true face determs the photos of Ralf Reinecke. Anna Chakvetadze, Daniela Krajnc, Alona Bondarenko or Maike Ziegler in one meaningful moment - only in this moment beyond all time.

Ralf Reinecke made in Antwerp some pics of the Russian tennis player Anna Chakvetadze, who reminds a little bit on the great painter Jan Vermeer, especially on the painting "Girl with a Pearl Earring". The pics are a connection between sports photography and art. A Tribute to Anna Chakvetadze - www.annachakvetadze.com
