    oh wow!
    that’s really cool matt.
    did you use ring flash?, or is that some weird editing. hehe
    either way it looks great. ;-) xox

  • Matthew Dawkins replied

    No fancy editing. Ring flash is correct. Which she was not a huge fan of having jammed in her face so close.

    Hello! Great piece you have here! I’m making a feature banner for the group Oh So Emotional and I was wondering if I can use your piece in it (I would not alter it in any other way than cropping it). I plan to post on the front page of the group all the names of those people that allowed me to use their works in the banner with a link back to their album. Please let me know if you wouldnt mind my using this lovely piece! Thanks!

  • Matthew Dawkins replied

    Wow Taylor. Thank you very much. I’d be honored.
