F...book says I posted this photo six years ago and asks if I’d like to share this memory again... definitely not ! I won't be posting anything anymore on f...B ( Only Flavie )
But here she is: the surfer girl from six years ago.
I used a picture before

and a thought :
Years ago, a great many young women would step in front of my camera entirely of their own free will. Because they wanted to capture their youthful beauty in an artistic way. Because they enjoyed it, because it made them feel stronger, for all sorts of personal reasons.
I’m not really searching for anything anymore, but I also think the whole picture has changed now. With the rise of sites like Insta, the everyday selfie, complete with all sorts of filters, has taken over. Insta is all about instant fame and self-affirmation. You don’t need someone else’s perspective on yourself (e.g. a photographer); you decide your own image and become a commercial ‘like’ product.
The photo was taken with a Contax G2
