Daphne 029

Daphne is the 9th Mayhem model who posed for me. In

her portfolio she described herself as a plus size model

and she added the quote "I wanna show that big girls can

be beautiful". Regular followers of my weblogs may long

have noted that I'm always looking for a lot of variety in

models. I liked what I saw in Daphne's portfolio but what

struck me most was that she was in glasses on all of the

pictures. She posed self confident in the glasses so I sent

her an invitation to do a portrait photo shoot in prescription

glasses from my collection. Daphne is a very down to earth

young lady and she kindly accepted the invitation although

it was not her primary aim when she joined Model Mayhem.

Looking back, her photo shoot with me did meet her aim

here and there - she posed in some plus sized frames albeit

not fitted with plussie lenses :). Many glasses with plus lenses

still wait for a great model who can pose in them. In fact, some

90% of the glasses which I acquired in England, Wales and

Ireland were once owned by hyperopic ladies. A category

hard to find in the Lowlands of Holland so I may have to

cross the North Sea for some photo shoots in the category

"bringing it all back home" :).
