Touche Magique

I am generally one of those annoying people (ie: women) who is a bit whingy and critical about her physical appearance and shape. Luckily, I have a friend who is a magician:

 

Aurélie Beeston is a genius behind the lens. She's also a deft touch at processing photographs - ensuring the best light and truest beauty is brought out in each shot. Which is the technical way of saying damn, she's good at getting rid of my flaws.


We did this photoshoot a few weeks' back: Aurelie wanted to experiment with sun flare and urban settings using her new Canon; and I'm a shameless narcissist who loves posing.

I know it is one of the truisms of my life as a Modern Woman that while I wish to be valued and admired for my intelligence, wit and creative skills - by goodness I won't say no to looking swish in the odd photoshoot.

No wonder you blokes get fed up with us chicks. WE ARE FULL OF INTERNAL CONFLICT.


The point is, I'm very excited to see that Aurelie has finally launched a website of her work; with more to come. I highly recommend her services to anyone out there looking for a photographer for weddings, portraits - anything.

Her website also features a full slideshow of my photoshoot, complete with a funky French backing track.

  4. Wow! You can hardly see the scars at all... (ducks for cover)

    Seriously: good photos. And you can only get so far with a crap model, no matter how good you are with a camera, so I'd say it's fair to assume the model here hasn't exactly reached her expiry date as yet. Nice one, GC!

  6. I readily admit that those pics are good, and your friend is a talented photographer, but - due to an acute, and sometimes troubling, sense of personal honesty - I am forced to admit that, after viewing the photos you posted, I was somewhat disappointed that you didn't post a few depicting you wearing less clothing.
