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.

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.
