Description
This is an interesting one...
This was taken in 2010. This was my attempt at trying fashion, but with a twist. I wanted an emotion, but not with a smile.
This is my friend, Grace. SHE. ALWAYS. SMILES.
ALWAYS!!!
She and our friends had this question. Why do Asian Girls always smile? And we had no answer. So, we went out to shoot, and all of her expressions were with smiles. Even when she was looking normal. It was so Adorable. I HATED IT!!!
So, I had to coach her into giving off a look of disgust. I kept telling her "Say 'Eewwwwww' like you see something nasty. 'Eewwwwww'. 'Eewwwwww'. 'Eewwwwww'. Pretend you see a dead rat on the floor. 'Eewwwwww'. 'Eewwwwww'. Pretend someone is trying to shit on you."
...and when I said that, she REALLY got into the look! I love it!
The glasses were a part of the shot too. This was my favorite because the glasses are reflecting the other end of the street if you look carefully.
These were 2 photos, so only the photo on the left has proper camera data.
Natural Light. :)

I very often ask models to "Show me angry!" during a shoot and it is often just hilarious as most of these young women are just happy and smiling all the time and it is hard to get them to look angry, but it is also good experience for them to be able to show emotion realistically! You did get the shot here!

Terrific pair of shots, Great expressive posing, clever touch with the reflection in her glasses.
