Believe it or not, these are not photographs!

Monica Lee is not a photographer, which is probably hard to believe when you look at her "photographic" work. Instead of photographing her "models", she paints them. And it does it just amazing. Her work is rich in detail, incredible realism and amazing craftsmanship. It is simply impossible to tear your eyes away from these painted eyes.
