    I think I get the most inspiration from photographers/creatives that don't even shoot my genre. What I've just viewed is a paradigm of fantasy. Absolutely 💚

      Adedotun, we love that you are open to experiencing the work from different genres and that you find inspiration in things you would not normally photograph.

    Bella's photography is oh-my-God breathtaking. I'm so glad SmugMug put Anton Lorimer's cinematography on the case to do justice to her fantastical photos.

    @ziggggy53ify 4 года назад +4

    Really gorgeous technique, processing and results. Fearless in execution yet believable tonality.
    Bravissimo!
    I do wonder if you have considered a PhaseOne XF V-Grip to make the portrait orientation a bit more comfortable, as well as providing the extra grip for overhead and ladder work.
    Would like to see more of your work, Bella. Please always feel welcome at, DGrin.com. (Shameless plug.)
