The Sartorialist

STUNNING

My baby sister says this photo is "not cool at all!" but I happen to think it's very striking. Amazing what you can understand about a person (or what you can make up, anyway) from just a still image of their face.

beautiful :*)

gorgeous image! the colors are great.

this is beautiful.

Not your usual Bondi beach bunny. Nice choice.

she's so hot.

Beautiful shade of red.

Gorgeous shot. Did you use your 50mm?

I love this! I admire the people with this special talent of knowing what would look fantastic on them.

she's breathtakingly beautiful.

What a beautiful portrait (and amazingly long eyelashes)!

red heads ftw! she doesnt look perfect but that's what makes her all that more cool

absolutely stunning.

good god, i saw an angel

this is so refreshing – its going to be such a stunning summer this year!

Nose ring kind of ruins the look.

love it!!!

Quite startling. I wish she would get rid of the piercing, but very pretty nonetheless.

She must have known you were coming and spent the morning getting ready for what would be the shot of her life. -Aaron

wow, so beautiful! Nice shot!

A beautiful portrait of a beautiful woman, featuring a stunning contrast of Australian sky and fiery red hair.

…eyes…

simply wonderful.

Beautiful eyes.. so expressive!
Great pic!

yes, its the eyes. she's beautiful.

i was going to say that too…not a natural redhead at all, way too bright to be natural red…suits her porcelein complexion though

stunningly beautiful… makes me want to visit sydney

She's lush.

An Australian girl… How attractive… she is BEAUTIFUL!

When I saw this picture, I found myself speechless… She is absolutely stunning !

She is very pretty!

Delicious! The photo feels rather like a dessert, or a dream

Oooh! She is so beautiful. Incredible.

She's gorgeous! Perfect pout, perfect eyes, plus she gets to be on a beach.

WOW. Just… wow. Absolutely beautiful.

As for the nose ring, I don't mind it. I think it adds character.

Great picture. Lovely eyes. Her skin looks sunburnt though, maybe its the beach!

Could be the best shot of a bird you have ever taken… Tip Top my son!!!

Pale skin + red hair + dark eyes =
beautiful!

i think the nose ring definitely added to her character.
the rawness and coolness is breathtaking.
edgy :)

this picture is so different from the sartorialist pallette, she isn't your typical high fashion blog image. but she is amazing and perfect in every way!

Gorgeous colors!

simply gorgeous!

Thanks, I tap that!

YAWN
attractive, but fashion…?

wow, love the eyes and the lips! and the red hairs of course :-)

Spectacular. It's not just the beauty of your subjects – although that's irrefutable – but the artistry of your shots that create this kind of magic. You're a true artist – this portrait is absolutely amazing.

Shades of quattrocento portraits.

And that civilized air you have captured is indeed spoiled by the nose ring, which appears barbaric in this context.

She will have this pic when she is old and regret the piercing.

I love her freckles.

Love the use of in focus, out of focus and blurred shades of background blue to transfix me in those hypnotising eyes.

Agree about the nose ring. There is something ethereal about this young woman–then that metal. But she's young and beautiful and otherwise very fresh looking. A beautiful portrait once again.

Beautiful but too much eye makeup.She must have spent about 15min. coating those eyelashes. Other than that, very beautiful!

gorgeous

lovely image-i think the blue sea behind her really makes it, great against that vivid red

…and gazelle eyes,cherry lips….!

wow this is beautiful

I found it interesting that on first glance, I didn't find her particularly beautiful, but the more I look at the photo, the lovelier she becomes. She may not be the most gorgeous girl in the world, but she has the kind of face that makes you want to look at it. Her eyes look like they hide a most fascinating story. She's wide-eyed and full-lipped, but the nose ring keeps her from looking too classically innocent. Well done, Scott.

WOW. absolutely stunning.

this girl is obviously stunning with a great sense of style. i love all the reds together. If only she wasn't wearing so much mascara.

as a photograph, i only wish the background was grey..

oh my she is beautiful.

simply fabulous.. lucky gal!!

The Corner Shop beauty. Beautiful inside and out.

:)

BEAUTIFUL PICTURE, BEAUTIFUL TONES, BEAUTIFUL EYES AND LIPS

Thanks Australia!!!It's been a while since I've liked one of your photos this much

The word "culture" is used in such a generic way now that it refers to any group you care to mention, rather than its original meaning that concerned itself with what was the most excellent in the arts and scholarly pursuits.

When some of us say "civilized" we mean western civilization: the one that produced the quattrocento among other marvels.

I think the reference to "innocence" is mistaken. Much that is considered "innocent" in the past is actually just civilized.

Sadly, we are no longer what we were, and the nose ring captures that.

I do like the crop, the colors and her expression.

The blue waters behind are really bring something to the photo…

those lips!

The colours are stunning.

In three years, this is my favorite image featured on this blog.

This is my daughter and as mum i would just like to thank everyone for your kind words, she is as beautiful on the inside as on the outside. What you see is what you get!

not such a classis beach beauty, but in the sunset she looks fantastic. i love her lips and the way the red hair reflects the sun.

exquisitely haunting.

i'm not sure what happened when i looked at this picture
but suddenly i was on the beach taking the picture in front of her.
the way the focus is on her eyes is striking.
a really great piece.

Dear Beautiful Woman,
I live in the states but am willing to travel…
marriage?

And that civilized air you have captured is indeed spoiled by the nose ring, which appears barbaric in this context.

wow…you know how ignorant and dick that sounds?

She is very beautiful..nice!!!

I love Bondi!but I love the girl too!!!!she's so cute

Perfect match, pure red and green eyes and the red sunshine reflex on her face…lovely…and I like the nose ring because it serves as a balance between angelic beauty and rough beauty

I really love your impressions of Australia. I wondered how they would differ from the streets of NY and London… But its quite significant, must be the light!

Thank you,

Your lens has focused on the refreshing aspects of our world. Somtime it takes an outside eye.

I love the simplicity of this shot and the way the depth of field picks out her features.
stunning :)

Very good pictures!
Do

Shades of red…

my very beautiful and gentle niece, who has a very honest beauty , heart , and soul, love you heaps , good luck on your travels, xxxx linda

i love the blues and reds in this picture… lately that color combo has been a visual and sartorial obsession for me, and this photo just feeds my craziness!

this is my favorite image i have seen throughout your entire blog so far. the only thing that would make it better, in my opinion, would be if there was a story behind the shot ;)

The dame looks better without a bloody nose ring! I can’t understand why so many young lads and ladies wear the bloody things. It is rubbish!

hello scott!
love your work, but this is the picture,beside few others that i like best,and after giving it some tought,I figured out why.
she is so feminine and beautiful and pale and fragile with that red hair and red headband, but what makes it really special to me is the nose ring. I LOVE it cause it such a a perfect dose of punk and “i dont give a damn” attitude, making it impossible to put her in a box,merely on her appearances (something we all do)
