This is a portrait of a girl, this portrait highlights the insecurities most people have about their face/skin. It is to highlight the beautiful things that can be found, when we stop complaining and hating our looks and have a look at ourselves. Its a photo to celebrate a perfectly imperfect face and how that makes us human, and unique and how its so beautiful and should be celebrated.

This picture is to show many how beautiful they are if they owned it. That we see photos of other people and think of how beautiful they are but we forget to appreciate ourselves everyday. Sometimes we need a photo like this to remind us that we are human, that we aren't made to be perfect, we are made to be real, and unique, and different and special. We should own it, own the little things.

The way our eyelashes flip up, the way our eyes show every emotion, the way our eye lids blink the tears away. The way our lips are used to show love in a simple but powerful kiss, the way our mouth shares words to uplift people. The way our nose smells the beautiful smells around us everyday. The way our skin shows the passage of time, written in it.
