Anonymous asked: Hi Bridget! I was wondering what program you use to edit your photos. Do you use any specific filters? Thanks! :)

Hi! :) I usually use Lightroom to edit and I’ll also do work in photoshop on some of them. I don’t usually use any filters or anything specific. I just kinda work on a photo until it gives me a warm fuzzy feeling.

I know that probably doesn’t really answer your question, but if you have any other questions feel free to ask!

Anonymous asked: You're so beautiful. You're everything I wish I could be. Never change.

You are way too kind. I am sure that—whoever you are—you are incredibly beautiful and have so much more going for you than you are even acknowledging. Don’t ever wish to be anyone but yourself; you are capable of becoming anything you want to be. Thank you so much for being so sweet. :) ♥

Anonymous asked: Are you jewish? :)

No, I’m not. I actually get this a lot. I guess I look Jewish; it’s probably my big nose.

werestillstanding asked: You're so lucky that you get to live in New York! I wish I could live there too. Sigh

I am a very lucky girl. :) you should move here! If you want it bad enough, there is always a way to make it work. <3

webeupinthisbitch asked: I like your photos, specially your last self-portraits. I love the colors, you're good! .)

peelintongue asked: I love your tumblr Bridget! I have a feeling that you are awesome and I tell this solely by photography.

awww! :) wow, thank you. what a compliment! haha, this is like the best message ever. let’s be friends?!

willhelm4food asked: The picture of you with your father's x-ray is so poignant; it brought tears to my eyes (no . . . I'm not going to blame dust). I also admire the "monarch" analogy; that's a fitting tribute. Also, I use too many semicolons.

:) thank you so much! you are so sweet. <3
(if anyone is wondering, here are a few of the x-ray photos that he’s talking about… more photos at bridgetbadorephotos.tumblr.com. i really need to get them up on my website, but this will do for now.)

cinephilewannabee-deactivated20 asked: Hey. I saw your post about the person asking if it's better to dorm the first year at SVA. I'm a Freshman and I'm at New Res and I was wondering what area you live in since you said it's much cheaper than dorming and I'm looking for a relatively cheap place to stay at for next year.

My sophomore year I lived on the upper east side (76th and york.. very east) in a one bedroom with one other girl. it was just a little bit cheaper than it would be to live in the GW, but more worth it because we had our own kitchen/living room/etc. this year i live in the east williamsburg/bushwick area of brooklyn (off the morgan ave stop on the L train). i live in a 3 bedroom apt with 2 other people, and it is substantially cheaper than any other living situation i’ve been in. i know people that have found much cheaper places in other parts of brooklyn, off the G train for example, but we really wanted to be the closest to SVA as possible. good luck looking for a place! it was tough, but when you find the right place it’s worth it. :)

Anonymous asked: You have a beautiful nose. Seriously, I'm not joking.

aw, thank you!! :)

unexpected-delight asked: I noticed your an experienced student at SVA. Do you recommend a freshman to join the dorms in SVA at first or get an apartment of their own?

I would definitely recommend doing dorms for your first year. though i live in my own apartment now (which is much cheaper than dorming), i lived in new res my freshman year, and i loved it. it’s hard to adapt to city life & college in general; i can’t imagine doing it alone.

Anonymous asked: how much is SVA a year? do your parents have to help you? how's the housing? is it worth it to you?

you can find out a lot of this information on the SVA website (sva.edu). yes, my mother does everything that she possibly can for me. it’s obviously worth it to me, or i wouldn’t be doing it.

Anonymous asked: please be honest. is SVA/living in NYC affordable? do you have any tips?

nope. affordable is something that NYC is not. all i can say is get a job, take out a lot of loans, and budget your money. you have to really want it & really think that it’s worth it. hope that eventually it’ll pay off.
