Cassandra's Freckles
An image I captured of Cassandra Presley. She is born with natural brown freckles that coat her entire face as a blanket. When photographing her, I found a full image of her face almost overwhelming but when I moved in closer, her freckles shaped her eye in such a beautiful mona lisa-esque portrait.
