guest post: the photography of Hellen Van Meene

Hello! My name is J and I blog over at My Life in Lavender. I'm here on the Anna Delores blog to tell you all about an amazing photographer named Hellen Van Meene. 

Hellen Van Meene is a Dutch photographer whose work I've loved since I took a beginners' photographer class in college. She's inspiring, conveying ethereal themes and natural beauty through her photographs. She travels around the world to photograph women in their native homelands and showcase their inner beauty to the world. And the most interesting thing about her is that she only chooses girls who have almost no modeling or portraiture experience. She said this was to make sure she captured 'honest' photographs. Hellen Van Meene focuses on using her camera to capture the true essence of beauty within a woman. Here are a few images of hers that I've come to love over the last few years.
