March / self-portrait / Ivy Lee (Patreon)

I am so pleased with how these photos came out; I honestly shocked myself with the first shot. I left it a lot differently than the rest of the edits; I was originally just going to slap some nice presets on these, as they were pretty good in camera already and I had no crazy concept in mind for them. But when I started editing the top image, oddly one of the first ones, that vision shot out at me. I used some new presets that made me think with the use of new color pallets; I love how the bright orange of my hair and the butterflies contrasts against the intense teal colors. It is such a sickening but beautiful photo to me; the chaos and movement in the blur and the confusion. I'm really so proud of it.

 I think I may order a canvas of it and paint on it for some mixed media pieces. Would any of you ever be interested in purchasing things like that? Or I could include them in a higher tier?
Let me know.

As for the rest, enjoy the soft sensuality and focus of those images. I like the simplicity, it is something I have a hard time doing and accepting sometime. And now you see where last month's print came from!
