Let’s call this the completion of a triptych.

There are SI photos that are all face, no body.

And some that are all body, no face.

A third angle comes up with surprising regularity over the last decade: all scenery.

The girl is in the photo, but the shot is so wide that the surroundings are the real focus. (Well, kind of.)

The model is tiny.

These pics are much more common than the bodyless or headless photos.

Maybe they’re in service of the idea that this isn’t just T&A — it’s about beautiful photography.

And exotic locations.

Call me crazy, but I like all of these pics. Love it when the model is just part of the pic instead of the whole damn thing. The pics give an actual sense of place instead of a close up of a girl cropped to the edges of the page laying on a beach in the Bahamas.
ReplyDeleteGood point! One beach looks pretty much like any other beach, and sometimes they might as well take the pics in front of a green screen.
