Lond-based photographer Brock Elbank is
on a journey to photograph 150 freckled people for his next exhibition
in 2017. He wants to celebrate beauty and, since mid-2015, he has
succeeded with 90 striking portraits.
"I’ve always loved freckles," said
Elbank. "What I find interesting about individual characters that I have
been fortunate enough to photograph is that many have struggled with
their freckles since their infancy and either hated them, or grown to
live with them or even like them in adulthood."
"One subject I shot in September for the
series spent a good three to four hours with me after the portrait,
talking about how they felt as a kid, bullied, rejected at school for
their appearance, which really shocked me as I found this individual
amazing-looking." If you want to be featured, you can still contact him!

How unique! When I was young and had more red in my hair, sometimes other kids would call me Opie Taylor, because of my freckles. Mom always said it was where the sun kissed me.
