Garance Dore's Pretty Girls
I’ve been following Garance Dore’s blog since I first started blogging. I’m struck by the beautiful women she photographs. But at a closer look, it’s not simply beauty, it’s confidence too. She photographs women who exude it. Something to aspire to really.

Obviously beauty is a number of physical factors that vary to the beholders eye. Usually there’s symmetry involved but confidence radiates through these photos regardless of the subject’s physical attributes. As for the photography I find these images really compelling.

I love Garance Dore’s eye. Did I mention, she’s an illustrator too?
