Sony Ericsson captures beauty in all its detail

To celebrate the launch of the new Sony Ericsson Satio handset on Vodafone, photographer to the stars Jillian Edelstein has been commissioned to embark on a unique mission to capture the undeniable beauty and individuality of 121 eyes in only 12.1 hours.

Jillian Edelstein is one of the world’s most influential and celebrated portrait photographers, having captured the likes of Woody Allen, Nelson Mandela, Helena Bonham Carter and Blur to name but a few. Eyes Wide Open takes her gaze from the world of famous faces, and looks to delve into the realm of visual communication through the exploration of eyes.

Sony Ericsson are searching for people from all over the country and all walks of life to take part in this once in a lifetime opportunity to be part of Eyes Wide Open. Members of the public can find out more and win the chance to be involved by visiting www.eyeswideopen.uk.net. Simply upload your details, an image of your eyes and tell us why you’d like to be involved.

Jillian will be personally selecting the 61 participants from all applicants and inviting them to an invitation only Satio studio photoshoot. Taking place during the first week of December at central London Vodafone store.

Eyes Wide Open promises to be an experience like no other. Each lucky participant will have their eyes captured by Jillian on the new Satio handset and then be immortalised as part of an exclusive online gallery. For those not lucky enough to be chosen or are of a voyeuristic nature, the Satio studio photoshoot will be streamed live at www.eyeswideopen.uk.net.
