Multiple Fernando Pessoa - Photo: Mário Pires

Yesterday was Fernando Pessoa birthday, so i made a little homage to his 3 best known heteronyms.

Then i remembered that i already followed some woman that smoke on twitter, and figured that i could tweet them an invitation to pose. At this point i already made 4 portrait sessions, so this method turned out to be a good choice.
