Freckles - The Project

Whether many, or just a sprinkling, I love the natural beauty that freckles hold. Hence how my project, aptly named "Freckles", came about. I want to photograph various freckled faces; male faces, female faces, young faces, not so young faces. All with freckles. The shoot will be consistent in using a manual focus art lens called a Petzval Lens. This is a remastered lens from a gentleman named Joseph Petzval who originally designed the lens in 1840. I will aim to produce black and white photos to bring out the freckles as strongly and clearly as possible. I want people to see these photos of freckles as they can appear, photographically, through a camera lens. So far I've had the pleasure of working with three amazing people who have graced me with their freckles and you can see the images below.
