What a stunner! I love the darkness of her eyes and the light on her face pushing her cheek bones up. Her strut is confident and model-esque. LBD is always a classic even in summer!
i was reading the swimsuit article in the latest GQ and knew you had taken the photos before checking the credits. people love the intimate feel of your subjects in these photos, its inmistakable. (sp?)
how come the knees always ruin the overall beauty.. once I noticed the knees my eyes keep focussing on them …even though she and the picture are stunning
I absolutely adore the composition of this photograph, and how it captures this essence of female strength, although the way her right leg bends looks uncomfortable
although the focus should be on fashion, i find myself sometimes wondering whether you're more attracted to the form or the actual style. certainly they can't be entirely separated, but i'd like to see people who aren't necessarily personally physically "hot" but have great style.
i'm uncertain whether, as in this case, the style is really the driving point (or whether it's just an attractive person with mildly good taste).
um i am perturbed by all the knee comments above. this girl is absolutely stunning and the she is perfect precisely for her 'imperfections'… didn't garance also photograph her?
I'm sure that it's a hair or a strap but that dark line on her right shoulder keeps catching my eye. My first reaction is that it's where her arm is attached to her torso a la Barbie.
The girl looks absolutely great and stunning, there's no point denying it. I don't like the dress however, I think that the fabric looks cheap and that it doesn't fit well around her middle.
that is such a good shot. Although a black top is an interesting choice to wear for the daytime, esp during summer…
quick question. do you just take pictures of people randomly or do you ask the person for permission to take their photo first (and then they pose i suppose?)
It's really interesting to see this pic here after seeing Garance's pics of the same girl. She looks completely different here. In Garance's pics her face looks much younger – more like a school girl's. Lovely contrast. I like both. The dress/sandals combo is smashing. People who are remarking on the knees: In all of the time I've spent in Italy I've seen very few athletic Italian women. In other words, very few have muscular legs/defined quads from running and cycling and the like such as do slim North Americans, and sporty Australians and northern Europeans. Her legs are simply slim but not toned; there is nothing wrong with her left knee..
People who say mean stuff about her knees: seriously? Anorexic chicks or chicks who spent 3 hours at the gym every day are not sexy. Sorry. This is coming from a straight guy. Also, this awesomely hot lady is a good example of how only brown haired/brown eyed women can be truly beautiful. Sorry bottle blondies.
Gorgeous gal in a gorgeous dress. What's "wrong" with her knee? It appears she has a hyperextension, in which the knee joint naturally goes back farther than normal, giving the leg a concave, rather than flat, line. I have it and it's only a problem in dance class.
Every time I look at this photo, the intensity of her gaze, the fabulous posture, the way her long hair casually drapes itself along her shoulder – and of course, that perfectly understated LBD… breathtaking!
She looks gorgeous, refreshing to a raven haired beauty..so tired of the stereotypically 'pretty' girls, you know, bleached blonde hair, european features, they all look the same and its a bore. You know you're hot when people (jealous) find fault with your knee LOL! I need her number..
