Through the lens: Birds of Feather

This post is slightly different to my other photography posts, this time I was inspired by a photograph rather than the photographer herself. This particular picture was taken by Julia Dunin which I didn't find out until writing this. She is a professional freelance photographer from Galway Ireland who takes some really beautiful portraits. She started photography at aged just 16 by taking experimental self portraiture in her home town of Warsaw in Poland.

These are the pictures that I came across on Tumblr quite  a while ago and was inspired by. I love the lighting and the way that she has captured the models skin with almost an iridescent glow. I was also inspired by the almost native american feel to the picture without it being cliche. It was this 'feel' to the picture that inspired me most and it was this that I tried to recreate in my own work collaborating with Charlotte Harvey for MUA and model.
