It’s no secret that a gorgeous set of high-contrast B+W shots are my jam. There’s something timeless and wild about a strong B+W portrait. “Timeless” is one of the main points of our mission, and a wild woman is our ideal client.

Check out some of our favorite high-contrast portraits from the past year, paired with inspiring words of art that every wild woman needs to hear.

When we accept our own wild beauty, it is put into perspective, and we are no longer poignantly aware of it anymore, but neither would we forsake it or disclaim it either.

Does a wolf know how beautiful she is when she sleeps? Does a feline know what beautiful shapes she makes when she sits? Is a bird awed by the sound it hears when it snaps open its wings?

Learning from them, we just act in our own true way and do not draw back from or hide our natural beauty. Like the creatures, we just are, and it is right.

Some women fear the fire, some women simply become it…

-R.H. Sin

She slept with wolves without fear, for the wolves knew a lion was among them.

-R.M. Drake

She was a wild one; always stomping on eggshells that everyone else tip-toed on.

Sometimes an angel, sometimes a hell raiser, always a strong woman.
