The Butter y E ect by Tamara Raw

-

Canon EOS 70D, 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 Tamara has a great name for a photograph­er, and a vivid imaginatio­n too, as this self-portrait shows. ‘I got the idea from a photo I saw of a woman who had a butter y land on her nose,’ she says. ‘Instead of having one butter y, why not cover somebody with butter ies? The butter ies came from a craft shop. I stuck them on myself, applying them to my skin using eyelash glue, and weaving the butter ies into my hair as well. It was taken using a single ring light against a wall in my at.

‘I’ve always been told that I can’t do stuff – I just wanted to prove I could do it, if I’m honest,’ she says. We think she succeeded, demonstrat­ing skill as a model, make-up artist and photograph­er to create a really striking image. See more of Tamara’s work at @tamaratake­ssnaps.
