I like taking photos too
Thought I’d share some photos I’ve taken and manipulated lately. Photography isn’t really what I’m about but I like images, texture and retouching as a way of keeping my skills up to date and creating fairly quick emotive pieces.

I was mucking around with 40s and 50s hair and make up the other day and wanted to document it. You might notice it’s now my profile picture, I liked it that much! I wish I could look like this every day :P

Love these Natalie – and I love your self portrait too. You should upload it to your portfolio :)
Natalie Perkins replied
I am thinking about setting up another profile for photographic manipulation stuff, but I don’t think I’ll upload pictures of me for sale!
Everyone should see your interpretation of this portrait!

Natalie your photography is really really gorgeous- I LOVE the succulents and the fushia one is breathtaking- you should def consider having a seperate gallery for this work.
I love your profile pic too- it all about the lips n eyes, I love that look and era (so glam) xxx
Natalie Perkins replied
You know, I might actually do that… I never really wanted to put photography up on this account because I want people to know me as an illustrator because I know more about that sort of thing :P
Thank you!
AnitaInverarity
Oh good I hope you do xxx
I agree with not wanting a mixed gallery tho- it would distract from your distinctive illustration style.
The photos are too good not to show I feel :)))))) xx
