Rosie Hardy is quite an interesting portrait photographer. The way she manipulates her photographs is really intriguing. Usually I am not drawn to computer manipulated photographs but her manipulations are done unseemly and not overworked. It is obvious the amount of work she puts into each photograph. Some of her images may be a little overdone but I think her work as a whole is impressive. I like that she lets her photographs stand on their own and they don't necessarily need to be in a series. Her approach to portraiture is definitely unique.
