Pithy self-descriptive snippets;
I am a girl. I used to post here many years ago as "Selkie" - i'm trying to reactivate my account as i missed the damn "Yahoo integration" bollocks back in the day...
I take a lot of photographs, then i fuck with them until they look the way i want. Sometimes i even get it close to the way it looks in my head - i call that a good day.
"Purists" who brag self-righteously about never using photoshop are either hopelessly pretentious, ignorant, or just plain lying.
Probably all three.
That, or you shoot film. If so, good for you. I can't afford it, so i shoot digital. The question of what is "better" is moot, anyone who says otherwise should just shut up and lend me $50.
My camera keeps me from indulging in anti-social, murderous and possibly illegal behaviour.
This is what i do.
My website is here.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Questions/comments i don't want to be bothered about any longer:
"Why is your stuff so creepy and morbid?"
Because.
"Are those scars real, fake, just enhanced by photoshop or what?"
That's none of your business.
"I luv ur lips an nippels can i talk/chat/get to no you in private?"
Hahahhaahahhahahahaaha! No.
"I really love your photo, but i think it would be better if you blah blah blah..."
Great - then i suggest you go make your own. I'm not interested in whoring myself out to please you. It looks how i want it to look. If you like it, great. If not, i don't particularly care. I'm not interested in your suggestions for "improvement". It's my work, i'm long since past the amateur stage, and this isn't Art School. If i want a critique, you'll know it because i will ask.
Lastly, but not least - a friendly message/warning:
I don't want to be added as your "friend" so i can be unpleasantly surprised by your cock/ass/pussy/ shots.
I am not your friend, and i think your genitals are ugly, tiresome, generally badly lit, infinitely boring and probably diseased.

Read lesspurists do exist, and they can do right!!!! No wrong with them, as for Selkie we certainly don't call her a purist, but she still does it right!
There's a raw savagery here that is exciting and worrying at the same time. This lady uses light , shadow and colour like few others can. Mike
She's pretty, sexy, funny, deep, thoughtful, and so damn imaginative! I love cruising through her pics, admiring how special outlook. Love Ahmed

Zoe is amazing, truly amazing. She have so many faces, so many moods. She can speaks to us without words, just givin' us some beautiful, creative & strong pictures. I just love your art. SD
This woman has more guts than many men I know....probably she has more guts than I do... However, I really love her work. She´s really honest, and wheter you like her attitude or not, you gotta see her photostream first before you talk.

This woman has more guts than many men I know....probably she has more guts than I do... However, I really love her work. She´s really honest, and wheter you like her attitude or not, you gotta see her photostream first before you talk. Her selfportraits are incredibly powerful, and many of them are tricky to know how they were made. A unique and powerful photostream.
Read lesswhen I die, i want my eyeballs scooped out and put in a jar facing some sort of stand where some douche my estate pays a decent wage comes in and windexes me down and swaps around various pictures Zoe has taken for my dead cold eyes to absorb unblinkingly. Oh, and I want my brain put in a monkey.
This woman has some of the best self portraits I've ever seen. Love her!
you are so sexy with the smoke shot. I love it. thats my favorite!!!
"Cynicism is a wonderful thing - as long as you can still be totally disarmed by life sometimes. Awe rocks. " she said. it suffices for me.
i absolutely love her work, it brings me to my knees then makes me get up and kick doors down.
of all the things i missed about not having net access the past year, i think this woman ranked among the highest... "i admire her. ms. thang's art has the rawness and power that i aspire to in my own art/life. may inspiration follow you everywhere (somehow, i think stating this wish is superfluous--i know it will) … Read more

This majestic woman is not one you want to screw around with. She is such an unabashed, bold and strong woman. She is a real inspiration for us all. We should all be so lucky to consider a person like her as a friend. We all need a straight-shooter to keep each other in check. She is golden. As an artist, her persona is projected through her work. She has seen the underworld, yet, she comes out of it, and can be such a sweet sweet person with a heart as big as they can come. Just behold her work, and you shall see. Look past all the sufferings that is prevalent in her work... and you will often see a glimmer of hope of some kind. I love her stuff. She was my very absolute first....... ....flickrite muse- long before I even joined myself.

There are too many inflated egomaniacs in the world who boast about themselves, saying that they're tough, resilient, courageous; but few can actually take the heat, pull their weight, face the music. I have seen many women photographers here on flickr boldly post images of themselves that some would (and have) consider scandalous, in bad taste, or just downright pornographic - but a chunk of the general viewing audience is comprised mainly of the small, nimble-minded and fearful. They're also the self-righteous windbags who troll for porn, drink their faces off and beat their kids. Women who are able to stand firm to their convictions without being crushed by public scrutiny, to stand their ground for their ideas, visions, and identities are the real heroes, the truly courageous ones. Zoe is not only an extremely talented photographer, she is beautiful, smart, eloquent, but has also taken an incredible step in turning the camera onto herself and her broken body - using photography as a healing tool and to help others understand that beauty is not always skin deep.
Read lessThis girl is inspirational and a force not to be reckoned with. Txatxo's stream shows her fierceness, independence and will. Her photographs are amazing and I love every single one. I really want to meet up with her, get drunk and talk to her for hours. Love ya girl - you rock.

if you don't know who miss badass here is, you don't belong to flickr and you might as well grab yourself a shitty photo account elsewhere. seriously, though, I feel like I should do the whole cliche flickr testimonial about how she, you know, "opens the soul to the beauty of human suffering" and shit... i like it my way better: she'll kick the crap out of your soul and you'll be begging for more. brace yourself... literally...
