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 ‘generic’ pretty face always going to win out? Do photographers really stay away from someone with ‘unique’ looks?

Except of course when they’re doing ‘character’ studies?

However, my freckles have never gotten in the way of modeling, I’m curious to see if it one day will.

But with people like Lindsey Lohan owning the scene, will that change ?

Hmm must ponder...

I LOVE redheads with freckles! haha i love girls with tattoos also! But the work i do calls for a unique look.. so i guess im not the one to talk to about this

Sorry. The gene pool doesn't quite work that way. Neither my wife nor I have freckles (or red hair) and this is what we got. . .

Never looked at it that way myself, but I definately agree. If one on your face is a beauty mark, what does it mean when your covered with 'em?

Well, you're in luck, because I happen to have all three ;D

I actually wish there were more people around willing to shoot the 'unique' look.

Wait, wait... I wish there were more of the BETTER photographers willing to shoot the look.

Yeah..

Possibly that you're trying appealing to the societies version of beauty... and too afraid to look different... maybe? Just a thought, lol.

Actually, my freckled beauty, the equation "Freckles = Natural + Pure + Wholesome" I thought funny. Redheads with freckles are some of my favorite ideals for beautiful women. I step outside of the plastic beauty that is the normal mode for what I think is beautiful. I looked at your port, and now that I have a studio to play in I'd love to shoot you, for I'm way in need of updating the old crap I have on my page.
