JESSE ANAYA

efore Angelic Magazine was created, I photogra photographer, in my editing of the images I would edit ou smooth out the texture of the makeup that was applied hundreds of photos we'd take at a photo­shoot, with all o then post the best two or three images on social media t see was a fully masked edited image with computer enhan an image of perfection. None of this was real though. I never felt good about what I was doing as a photograp men and women into believing what they saw was true be What if we did an entire issue featuring real women wit the images? This concept was pitched in a magazine tea former fashion photographer, I was fully in agreement w out what I thought to be imperfection in women only to r beautiful. It's the laugh wrinkles that tell the complete sto computerized editing that make us beautifully raw. It's person's grace. I no longer photograph fashion photography and as I' God a desire within me to paint true beauty has manifes words and one of the outlets God has provided is Angelic' This issue is a celebration of the past 4 years of our Ra images you will see are of real women with no makeu issues are to shed a light on who God created us to be; beautiful.
