Karen Elson is one of my favourite models. She can convey so many different emotions through her facial expressions and the combination of her porcelain skin and fiery hair is just gorgeous. I really like these images. I am interested in combining different media such as painting and drawing into my images as I haven't really tried it before but some outcomes look stunning. The textures and the colour palette work well together in this series. I also love the feeling of movement and freedom that has been enhanced with post production.
