I Heart Faces - Purple


For this weeks I Heart Faces theme I added a purple tint to the original edited photo that was kind of borderline pink/purple, more of a reality coloured cleaner edit.
This was taken during Cherry Blossom season here on Okinawa. My fellow photographer friend, Annya (who is Russian) and I (a Brit) did a 'for-fun' model shoot with Aya (who is Israeli) with Hair and make up by Michelle (who is from New Zealand). An international affair indeed!
Aya had just gotten this tattoo, in fact this is just the outline, it was cool to juxtapose it against some real cherry blossoms AKA Sakura!
