Self portrait.
[link]

Another image for the bio page of my site...which I am now thinking about revamping during my six month vacation, but I might be too busy drinking margaritas and napping (or taking photos, who knows?).

Anyway, sorry about the lack of conceptual self portraits lately. I've just had too much work to even want to do them, really. And I'd really like to start focusing more of my attention on scheduling model shoots before I leave the US. I have a couple possible ones lined up for April--and it should be awesome!

Hah...I had a bit of a technical fuck up here in terms of lighting. It's hard to pay attention to the position of the sun, where the light is hitting and be in front of the camera at the same time.

And the space at the top...one part because it's hard to know where my head is when I'm not behind the camera (I believe I've mentioned this before), and because I liked the effect.

Oh, you already know I love the colour combination of your eyes and hair... so beautiful. And your dress and necklace match, nah, enhance that. The beauty of woman. Sigh...

Though I do wonder why there is so much empty space in the upper half... will you be adding text there?

Stunning as always. I love the colour of the dress, and the necklace is beautiful. I also like how there are only three main colours on you; the white of your skin, the blue and the red. It makes it look all the more beautiful, if that makes sense. I think in this case simple is best. Okay, now I have no idea what I'm saying.
*sigh* I wish I was that beautiful...

Thank you. :)
Nah, no text. Easy answer for the space at the top: I'm not behind the camera, so I don't really have much of a clue as to where I am in the frame.

You look so pretty here! Great photo. When you're taking self portraits do u use just manual mode of aperiture priority? Love the softness of the background :hug:

Sooooooo nice !

I love your hair's color and the way they drop beside your face :heart:
As always, you're really beautiful.

So you're leaving the US ? Where do you go ?

Sure you don´t want any text there? Some spring poem, white letters with a black border, would really be... erm... kitschy, now that I think about it.
(me, still hopelessly defending a lost case: ) But sometimes kitschy is good, isn´t it?

I'll be honest.

I'm a great fan of your photography, every aspect of it, from your creativity, your scenery, your professionalism.

But At the end of a shot, it just reminds me of my weakness for women with flaming hair, haha.

I think im moving to Scotland to go to college.

An amazing shot, my creepy story aside XD

Very pretty, you. ;) I really love this photo. To me it does not seem like you have too much white space at the top. It draws the focus down the photo. Very nice work.
