No one could have said it better, "ut a crying Freja Beha Erichsen? That'll tear anyone apart." <br /><br />I find Freja's work and the way she handles herself in the industry so inspiring. Seeing her in such a vulnerable position in that picture makes me admire her even more because it shows us that like anyone else, this confident and talented model also has weaknesses. And that's OK. She's still the confident and talented model she is.Adriananoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-926616510432788953.post-37398428919416428982011-01-20T18:43:45.088-05:002011-01-20T18:43:45.088-05:00^Wow!

Certainly, it is always great when you get a great series of photos that tell a story in parts, but what is special (for me, at least) about photography is the fact that it captures a single, significant moment in time, which is beautiful not just because of what is evoked in the image, but also in the knowledge that it will never be perfectly replicated in life again, but will live on, timelessly, through that one image that someone was fortunate enough to capture. Sometimes, I forget how gorgeous pictures can be when they are appreciated as individual works and not as collections... but February and August issues usually remind me of that! :)<br /><br />I am quite in love with that first shot, for precisely the reasons you have given, Rrose. I can't remember the last time I saw Freja looking tearful, it seems she's always being asked to bring her own confidence to her pictures of late, whether she's feminine or androgynous. I know you've been frustrated with the lack of femininity in Freja's work, but let me say this: It's rare that she is shown as being vulnerable, and I will be the first to applaud the photographer who finally decides to capitalize on that hidden gold mine. I'd say that tragedy is one of, if not the most widely appreciated themes in art, because it really makes us feel something... But a crying Freja Beha Erichsen? That'll tear anyone apart.Gill Fordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04575559087449526795noreply@blogger.com
