So innocent a look. Hair straightened to smooth silk like Japanese robes or a combed horses hair...softer than a horses hair though (we hope). No expression says so much...what were you thinking? A tee-shirt an jeans to get across the casual "gap" look.Strike a pose, Vogue. Pose stricken like attitude rising in your throat after frustration or not getting your way. Such a small thing for some big pose.What a smirk on those lips of mine? What has caught my attention in the distance to cause such a smirk on these lips? We would see if we could see what was in that distance...The biggest smile in the world is stretched across this face of mine. Eyes mostly closed in the joy of the smile. All is focused there in the mouth of the moment.Embraced in the winds entrancing grasp as she pulls the scarf from my hands. The whisps of fabric from my dress whip around my calves as the scarf reaches to leaving my arms capture. Rocks in the background, massive, hard, warmed leave dep contrast to the soft features of the scarf, dress, and figure.Hunger, pain, sorrow, loss and more are seen in these eyes. These colorless, masked eyes of some emotion. Hand to head to support the grief of one small infraction.Same rocks: hard, warmed, extensive. Different outfit. Black with tough boots. Dark, thick lipstick covers the lips in a thick paste of color. Body language shows the intimidation of the small frame to the large rocks around.Sketchers Ad. Not really, it just looks like it. Know anyone that could turn it into the right people? Not much clothing can be seen, but hands are strategically placed to cover what looks like to be a lack of torso clothing. Don't worry, there is something there...even though the lips say a different story.Gothic to the max. Bright red lipstick and darkened eyes peering out of a lightened, flashed out face. A car embraces the neck and wraps it in studs and a place for who's leash to attach. Tattoos on the chest round out the picture, are these tats fake or real?A hunched posed of no concerning emotion besides relaxation and if you were leaning in to listen to some speak quietly in your ear. The hair wind-blown yet again. It never stops, don't worry. Mysterious and dark. posed behind shoulder as if hiding something. Looking the opposite direction as if being followed. Which of this is true? Again, so simple yet sophisicated. At least, we hope. Another relaxed and simple pose of elegance and grace. No significant expression or emotion being expressed.

Headshot. Smile. Take the picture? Straighten the hair. Focus the shot. Get the lights. Turn the head. Straighten the smile. Light up the eyes. Snap!

What an intense photo. Not too much emotion, just body pose, posture...all of it. A tattoo running down the spine. No clothing of any type to cover it up. Placed and sitting with strength despite the lack of clothing. Strong and definant makeup show personality, strength and (hopefully) beauty.
