Description Sorry I have not been faithful in my uploads! I'm currently taking 20 credits at college and doing client shoots on weekends, so I've been a busy bee!
Photographing Marrea is like photographing a pre-raphaelite woman + mermaid + Abbey Lee Kershaw + Helena Bonham Carter all rolled into one human. She is absolutely gorgeous and I am so happy about how this shoot turned out.

Model: Marrea
Photography/styling/hair: me

She is really beautiful! I can definitely see Helena Bonham Carter in her, although her features are a bit softer! Wonderful picture!

Did you do anything post-production to get that bright ethereal effect?

Nope, not postproduction! This is shot only has some minor edits. To get a dreamy look, try shooting through unusual things like glass, panty hose, sunglasses, etc. and use a shallow aperture and fast shutter speed. You can also experiment with coloring on lens filters too. Hope that helps.
