Looking Away Since Deborah is not looking at the camera, it makes this photograph more private and more voyeuristic. Notice how this photograph works since you
can see her mirror and makeup brush. We know what she is doing. Contrast this image with the previous figure where we don’t know what the model is looking at.
Besides having the model look at the camera, “how” she looks at the camera will
greatly affect the final result. When she has her chin raised, it gives the photograph a
bit of an “attitude” and generally shows confidence. If you have her drop her chin
down and use a higher angle by being higher than she is and shooting down at her a
bit, it will create a more sensual or sexual look. You need to see the whites of her eyes
below her iris to achieve this look. The whites of her eyes will only be seen below her
eyes and not above it. In this case a more serious expression or very slight smile seems
to work best.
