#12 Faces Project - Kristy

Kristy is the last participant of the Faces Project. Kristy decided to nominate for the Faces project after meeting  me in person a couple of times and hearing the my story about why I do what I do (you can read that here if you are interested).

“I decided to make the time to have my photos taken as I am always waiting until I felt right to have them done. That day was never going to come, so I took the Faces Campaign as a way to do it.

I wanted photos I would feel happy about using on social media, and yes, I got what I wanted. 

Kristy is a very “down to earth” person and wanted some photos to reflect that. After planning the whole experience we were initially going to go to a winery to get some shots against an amazing brick wall, but alas we were not able to. That didn’t deter us (or at least me).

 I proposed that Kristy pose in between my car and the neighbours garage, which just happened to be an old, red brick wall. The resulting photos were awesome, and you would guess (except now I’m telling you) that we had to move the garbage bins out of the way to get them 😊.

 In the end the image Kristy chose as her gift was

 “…because it was a very natural photo and one I haven’t got anything like it displayed at home.

“The process] didn’t really change they way I see myself, but it made me realise how critical I am of myself.

I am so honoured the Kristy placed her faith in me to create some beautiful photos of her that she is proud to display on social media.
