entry description
Freckles might be a dermatologist’s bane, but they are a romantic’s delight. Until the late 1920s, the ideal, according to Vogue, was a “secluded hothouse heroine,” whose skin, untouched by the sun, was neither freckled nor tan. Luckily, today freckles are considered a sign of individuality, the perky dot on an exclamation point, a quirky, covetable beauty asset. In my view, freckles are one of those defining traits that give an extra pinch of character and add to a quirky personality. Through the series “Freckled Faces” my aim was to capture this beautiful individuality in the face of everyday girls.about the photographer
