To cut a long story short, I paid a photographer to take my picture.
Me.
Who literally runs when someone picks up a camera.
Who volunteers to take pictures at parties so she’s not confronted with her own image on screen.
Me, the camera-phobic, had portraits done.
Well, there’s no turning back now!
Yes, these pictures are photoshopped.
In real life I’m a 19-year-old size zero fashion model.
Not.
The photographer BTW, is David Van Oost





Looking good, Zahra! Where else will be seeing these – website, book covers?
I think billboard would be nice :-p
I think you look beautiful, my friend.
Thank you, my darling.
*squishes*
Congratulations on conquering the camera-phobia! (from someone who indulges in it to the full). I think your intelligence and amiability jump out of those photos, photoshopped or not. Yes, really!
For your next set, you need a gimmick. Maybe a little doll of Freud in red and blue? 🙂
They’d think I was a fangirl or something. Come on!
LOL.
I agree I need something. Something to make it more fun and less… death warmed over.
You look lovely, very lovely. You have a nice smile, I love your glasses. I can never find glasses I like, I have to wear mine all the time. I can’t wear contacts.
Congratulations on conquering your phobia!

Thank you! Like you I can’t wear contacts, and finding the right glasses is hard! I sympathise! Had to drive all the way to Holland to find these 😉
I’m still not over my phobia and receiving these I realize I want some spontaneous ones too.
You look FABULOUS! Nice to see your smiling face. I believe I like #3 the best.
Thank you! My favorite is #4. It’s a little strange to see my picture here. I feel like I’m coming out of the closet 😉
Love the one in the bottom left corner. You have a lovely smile with a hint of mischief around the corners.
Thank you. I tried to do something different, but if it had been just the photographer, the top row was all that would have happened! I only got these 4 photos from him, so I’m glad he got me both sets!
