Model: Peltigera. Photographed in 2005. I did some editing work on her eyes and lips, while adding my trademark beauty spot, and she was wearing matt foundation to kill reflection from the flash. Otherwise her complexion at the age of 26 was as it looks, and her beauty was not produced by bleaching out her skin textures until they became invisible, a technique commonly used today with models who are not remotely her equal. She knew that she was beautiful and that she could look at a camera like this and score. There is also just a hint of irony in her glance, something which others who were fortunate enough to work with her will remember, and which derived from a dry northern sense of humour.
