Victoria | Don't Look | Strike A Pose | Ventura California

Good morning!! Buenos dias, bom dia, bonjour!!!
 That's all I know. 
Happy Thursday!!! 

    I decided to share more photos of my beautiful cousin Victoria. I've selected shots of her not looking directly at the camera. 

It's great when I can naturally catch someone not looking at me, but sometimes I will specifically tell the person "ok, now don't look at me, just look away".  For some it's a bit awkward at first "look where?" they say in a panic, and I just tell them to think of something peaceful and look anywhere.  After a few tries, they relax and it becomes a bit more natural. 

Directing people to pose, yet making it look like a natural shot isn't always easy. It just takes a little practice, and a LOT of patience.  Ok, maybe make that a LOT of practice too. In the end, the natural not staring dead on at the camera shots, make for great images. 

 Who is she looking at, what is she thinking of... I love when people are not so posed, not so "picture ready" there's no -  "smile, say cheese" -  It's just someone looking out at nothing you specifically can see or know but rather, can only imagine. 

Different angles emit different feelings, different possibilities..  
















But... It's always a good time to have a beautiful bright-eyed smiley face looking directly at you!!

The end.
