I've always liked freckles I think
they're very fascinating it's a bit like
Marmite it's sort of thing you either
love them or you hate them because a
light dusting certainly is attractive I
think to most people
who's that that's Josh Hardwick hooves
um my wife spotted it a an organic farm
in Gloucestershire you know he's
mixed-race it's got this curly mop of
red hair these sort of honey colored
eyes I mean just incredible looking kid
what did the freckled tell you about the
reaction of the non freckled to them
particularly they're heavily freckled
here's a woman for example who is very
heavily freckled it seems all over her
body yes that layer we've probably done
around 90 portraits now she's by far I
mean she's completely covered you know I
said have you have you ever been teased
no have you ever struggled with them no
I mean she she's like an exception to
the rule because everybody else has kind
of had a love-hate relationship with it
last night
one thing I've found is that it almost
becomes not a therapy session but people
kind of chat and talk about their
experience of being teased as the series
is growing and I get more emails from
people saying how much they struggled
with freckles as a child you know
they've grown to sort of live with them
or even like them in later life and that
sort of fascinates me because I don't
understand why people don't like were
you ever shocked did you ever walk into
a room and think that is unusual Danna I
love unusual so many people kind of
blend in you walk down Oxford Street
Regent Street you know most people you
know are like people that stand out
they're the kind of people that I'm
drawn to photograph the more individual
the better for me
