Photoshoot and Beyond
Category: Fashion Photograph: “L@R” by vozorom The pose by today’s photographer, vozorom, forces the viewer to see her outfit especially her boots. It’s a wonderful photograph for a fashion advertisement. The photograph evokes a great story too… Quiet desperation. A long two lane blacktop disappears into the distance. A waif-like model stares toward the other…
