A Rare Gem

Ellie was the first woman to contact me about being part of my 2% project. From the very first email and becoming acquainted with her over several weeks prior to and during the shoot, it was evident that she was very genuine and has a lot of positive personality traits that are, unfortunately, becoming rare in today’s society.

 

Another rarity is her colouring. Red hair and blue eyes are the rarest colour combination on the planet. 2% of the global population has red hair, but only .17% have red hair and blue eyes. To top all that, she also has another feature in her eyes called Central Heterochromia (more than one eye colour). This genetic variance affects the pigmentation of the eyes and in Ellie’s case, created a golden ring in her iris around the pupils while the rest of the iris is blue. This creates a beautiful brilliance in Ellie’s eyes that really stand out! Heterochromia affects only 1% of the global population. Go full screen for a better view.
