Do you love or hate freckles?
I was told by a photographer at a shoot last week that a lot of photographers consider freckles to be like tattoos, and thus undesirable. And a lot of times they refuse to work with some who has more than a fair amount of the specs. Though I realize this is (for the most part) true, the thought never occurred in my mind until then. Is it just a standard of beauty issue? Is the âgenericâ pretty face always going to win out? Do photographers really stay away from someone with âuniqueâ looks? Except of course when theyâre doing âcharacterâ studies? However, my freckles have never gotten in the way of modeling, Iâm curious to see if it one day will. But with people like Lindsey Lohan owning the scene, will that change ? Hmm must ponder... Aug 16 06 07:54 pm Link I have a little bit freckles & I love it. I have dark skin so it's not really obvious. But I wouldn't even make an effort to cover them...unless I have to! Aug 16 06 07:56 pm Link I love to play connect the dots! Aug 16 06 07:56 pm Link i love women who are real...and i like to capture all the little imperfections and quirks that make each individual model different. so yes, you can say i LOVE freckles. Aug 16 06 07:58 pm Link i LOVE freckles! i wish i had some!! Aug 16 06 08:00 pm Link Aug 16 06 08:01 pm Link i dont have any, but i LOVE them on models....

Let it be known through out the land... hear ye, hear ye: I love freckles. Freckles welcome. Bring me your freckles, yearning to be photographed. Aug 16 06 08:02 pm Link I love my freckles and hate it when photographers want to cover them up. Aug 16 06 08:02 pm Link Erin Blair wrote: How would they cover em up? with massive amounts of make-up? Aug 16 06 08:04 pm Link ...Freckles are cute... Aug 16 06 08:07 pm Link All things being equal and given the choice, I'll choose to photograph a freckled woman over one without freckles any day of the week! Freckles being like tats? That's just nonsense. Aug 16 06 08:08 pm Link Freckles require different processing.. Some people aren't willing to go the extra mile to learn to do the work.. I am.. I've got Bob Randall tied up in my trunk if you want the proof..  Aug 16 06 08:15 pm Link Love 'em. I'll shoot yours anytime. Aug 16 06 08:17 pm Link Freckles = Natural + Pure + Wholesome. Love 'em. Aug 16 06 08:22 pm Link i think they are cool...but not on me Aug 16 06 08:24 pm Link I'd shoot your freckles any damn time!!! Aug 16 06 08:35 pm Link I personally have a thing for redheads, so as far as freckles are concerned bring 'em on David Aug 16 06 08:38 pm Link I love women with freckles... yet I find myself removing most freckles from my pics and I really can't say why. Bipolar? Aug 16 06 08:40 pm Link I have freckles only on my nose. Its so weird. I think frecles are really popular now. I've been seeing them alot lately in fashion spreads. Especially red headed freckled women. Aug 16 06 08:41 pm Link vanscottie wrote: Suuure! next time I'm on so cal! Would love it!

A golden age for the redhead? lol Aug 16 06 08:45 pm Link Love freckles. Want to shoot more with them. Asian girls with freckles? The best! Aug 16 06 08:48 pm Link Cindil wrote: Very true. At least for me. I'm tired of blondes. I love Dark or red haired women with blue or green eyes. Its so exotic looking. Aug 16 06 08:51 pm Link Freckles are tiny kisses from God! Aug 16 06 08:51 pm Link Freckles -- and redheads -- rule. Most definitely. Aug 16 06 08:51 pm Link Freckles rule! Your freckles & that gorgeous fire-red hair are only a few of the many unique traits that make you the beautiful woman you are! Please don't EVER forget that! You are beautiful, no matter what they say- words can't bring you down; so don't you bring me down today. (Christina Aguilera) 'Berto! Aug 16 06 08:59 pm Link Love 'em! And I would kill if I could just find a great redhead to work with around here. Maybe I'm just not looking hard enough, but dangit!, I'm just not finding her. Aug 16 06 09:08 pm Link I love freckles and of course red heads Aug 16 06 09:15 pm Link I adore freckles! And the girls who wear them. -Don Aug 16 06 09:16 pm Link I like my freckles :-) Aug 16 06 09:18 pm Link I have soo many freckles!!!! I would LOVE to have clear skin over my spotted skin. If you're doing a shoot with a MUA, skin imperfections should go away with the right makeup. Aug 16 06 09:22 pm Link Hey! Check out the spread that Lindsey Lohan did a few months ago with Mario Testino in one of the fashion mags. He emphasized those freckels! It was one of her best shoots ever! Even her new one that just came out really shows them up. Personally, I love freckels. Sometimes it is hard to retouch with them but it is worth the extra trouble! Any New York models with freckels that wants to shoot - drop me a line! Aug 16 06 09:22 pm Link To heck with Lindsey - I want the freckles!! Aug 16 06 09:46 pm Link Freckles all by themselves suck, little brown fleshy dots..YUCK. Put them on a pretty girl and they ROCK!!!
