The folk say: Everything is about perception, the world is different for every eyes, every brain. Is it true?
I was asked by a hairdresser friend to take photos of her clients with dreadlocks..
She got the 7 women together, ages ranging from late sixties to early forties, and we set up a make shift studio out the back of her salon.
My first thoughts when I see or think of dreadlocks, is dirty, hippie, alternate lifestyle. You get my drift....well how wrong was I.
So yes they are a bit hippie but I'm a bit country so who am I to judge and yep they have an alternate lifestyle but alternate in the sense that they care for the planet and want to sustain and look after it as long as possible. The dirty part I got completely wrong. These woman really care about their looks and appearance and dirty they are not.
I was curious to find out, why? Why dreadlocks? What did they mean to them? and What made them decide to get them?
What I found out is that these dreadlocks give these woman confidence and made them believe they can be the person they want to be.
I found out they are extremely self-conscious not just about their looks but about their abilities but by having the dreads somehow gives them the confidence to believe in themselves.
I guess we are all the same and most of us internalize our insecurities where these women externalize it.
I also found out that they didn't want to be ordinary.
The session opened my eyes and made me realise that my perception of things isn't always right. I got to know these woman in the 6 hours we had together and I got to know a side of them that I hope I was able to get across with a photo. As much as the shoot was all about the hair, it turned into something far more complex.
*To get dreads like this a person would have to sit 12 hours in the hairdressers chair. I for one couldn't do it. Half an hour in the chair is 25 minutes too long.

your own perception of yourself
is based on how others see you.
because if their opinion didn't matter,
you wouldn't need them for
anything
How do you really explain a color, without using other colors? You can't, or at least, I can't. It's impossible for me.
Blue to me might be red to you. You know?
It's all about perception.
This is an old picture, but I finally got around to editing it. Opinions?
Copycat of my friend . dep .
Because she inspires me always.
To be open.
To be true.
To be me.
To be imperfectly beautiful me.

This photo is part of my series La naissance d'Aphrodite, which you can view in my list of albums. By viewing the images in chronological order, and reading the script for the series in the album header, you can reconstruct one of the mythological versions of Aphrodite's origins and a sketch of her first steps in the mortal world.
Aphrodite is one of the most famous figures of ancient Greek religion: the goddess of love.
Trust me when I say this started as a ugly picture SOOC. But after cropping and editing, I think it might be one of my very favorites. Anyway off to watch the VMAs... have a good night everybody.
Difficult to believe that this is the same old campus, only for those who accept the altered perception as reality
