Description
A long necked woman is shown as a portrait in Thailand. I must admit that I had some pre-conceived ideas about the subject of Long-necked women. Any images that I had previously seen did nothing to dispel my bias on the subject. Once I entered the village I was astounded how beautiful these women were. I did not expect this... These women would no doubt be beautiful without the neck alterations but I admit that they are unique and interesting. All of the girls and women I photographed were gracious with their smiles and their wonderful clear skin and eyes. An interesting cultural event for me and one I am pleased that I had an opportunity in Thailand to witness and photograph.
