Description my beautiful friend, georgie.


for some reason dA is desaturating it. so it looks very dull, compared to the original. or maybe it's just me.
what's your view? does it look quite desaturated to you?

minimal post-processing. curves & crop.

Gorgeous GEN!!

i just love the rawness.skin tones, and frizz.
I think that the lack of editing is great.
It just creates so much more character.
I like the marks on her upper lip

the textures throughout is also wonderful.
editing sometimes kills all these wonderful things.

you should check the gallery by *BenoitPaille
he has some great, raw, portraits.

lovely!!!
it

aww thank you ashraf!
yes, i am a big fan of the textures. and not to be high and mighty,
but if you knew george, this sums her up so well. her beautiful eyes, her
hair slightly messy but with free curls and wild friz. her used of layers
so completely in everything she does. and her scarves.
i wanted to photograph her in her room, because her room is just SO her. it
really reflects her as a person. you'd have to meet her to fully understand,
but i tried. she's my current muse and i love her more than anything.

and i LOVE *BenoitPaille i love his stranger series. they are so..
like you said raw. full of emotion.

thank you so much ashraf. i cannot WAIT until we have coffee back in cape town.
