Red-haired dream for the photographer :)

Hello Steemit!

What does the portraitist photographer's dream look like? And so - a red-haired girl with freckles! So I want to introduce you - Natasha))

In fact, I was looking for such a model for a long time, and despite looking closely at passers-by, I did not get a suitable candidate. But having decided to write an announcement about the search for models, a miracle happened and Natasha wrote to me. By the way, at that moment I found myself another amazing girl - Lena, and even photographed them in one day.

Perhaps you noticed that recently I especially like girls with freckles and the reason is not so literal as it might seem at first glance. In fact, girls with freckles have become a special discovery for me - it's just the perfect combination with my camera. The fact is that the texturing of the skin occurs only on very close portraits, and it's worth removing a slightly more distant plan, the skin becomes smooth, because of what after the photo processing there is a feeling of "soap". But freckles - this is a real solution, because they themselves represent a texture and are visible from all distances.

We planned to photograph Natasha in dandelions and chose a beautiful place in nature. At that moment everything was strewn with these flowers, each piece of land throughout the city. But, when we arrived at the place of the photo session, we were shocked that the huge glades and the forest surrounding them were almost completely empty. In one place it was possible to find a small cluster of dandelions, but still it was not what I wanted. Nevertheless, we decided to move away from the topic and made just beautiful portraits.

I've photographed here many times, but this place never gets boring. It has many interesting locations, such as glades, forest, cliffs by the river, river, beaches, a lake, a huge old thick tree and a small forest river. And this is only part of the territory. The river in the forest, by the way, I always liked the most, it looks fabulous and extraordinary at any time of the season.

A special idea was to create a certain hairstyle, with dandelions interwoven in it, since I did not want to photograph the girl as she is, like many other photographers do, I wanted to create something more original. And for this idea, I decided to take my girlfriend with me, because I'm not particularly strong in braiding braids and wreaths of flowers.

Four plaits were made: two thick ones, coming from behind the ears, with dandelions interwoven into them, and two thin ones from above, but they are not particularly noticeable. We also had two sets of blouses, but we used only one, because it looked very good with the model :)

Now we are in plans with Natasha to go in the fall to a waterfall, which is a couple of hours away to take a photo shoot. And only in the autumn, because in the summer there is a huge number of mosquitoes and holidaymakers, which will greatly complicate any work. In addition, we still need to make a costume, and I still can not define the final image for the model: either it will be a warrior girl, partially in armor, or it will be an ethnic style with a touch of shamanism. But maybe both ideas will be realized, but on different models :) And how do you think, which of these ideas would suit Natasha?)

Thank you for attention and apologize for my English :)
