What I love the most about this photo is the little imperfections that make the model beautiful and real, I'm tired of seeing super retouched photos, this is amazing!

Location
I took this photo in my house using conservatory doors as a source of natural light.Time
It was in the afternoon, around 1/2pm.Lighting
I think natural light always looks the best for portraiture, so I made sure that I took this image at the optimum time where the light was not too harsh but still was able to illuminate all right areas.Equipment
I used a Nikon D3100 with a Manfrotto tripod.Inspiration
I do a lot of self portrait pictures and I loved this Liberty Hyde Bailey Lily my mum had recently bought. The colour really inspired me to create a makeup design around the idea of this flower.Editing
I love photoshop and post processing is my favourite part of portrait photography! I changed the colour of my hair and eyes to a blue shade. I smoothed out my skin, plumped up my lips and highlighted the makeup i had applied.In my camera bag
A Nikon D3100, standard 18-55mm lens, a 55 - 70mm zoom lens a tripod and a wired remote control.Feedback
Make sure to use natural lighting, and if you wish to do self portrait photography, use a timer or a remote control shutter! Keep the camera on auto focus as when you move you wont have difficulty in trying to keep the image sharp if you used a manual focus. Then have fun with post editing!
