Freckles Project Update
Here are a few images of Rachel Logan from my Freckles Project.
Rachel is a local model that agreed to participate in my Freckles Project, an effort to show the beauty of freckled faces. One of the difficult parts of photographing freckled faces is that most people with freckles don't like them and therefore don't want to be photographed. Which, by the way, is the very reason I am doing the project. I find freckles quite beautiful and would like to see more people with freckles adopt that point of view. But I guess it's a little like people with curly hair want straight hair, and visa versa. We humans always seem to want the opposite of what we have.
Another difficulty in photographing freckles is that, in order to make the freckles stand out, it's best to not wear make up that covers them up! Sounds logical, but just how many women do you think want to be photographed without make up? They find it hard to believe that they can still be made to look beautiful. It takes a very self-confident and courageous woman to pose without make up covering her freckles. Rachel is one of those women. And she clearly is a beautiful woman.
