There is a similarity in the 'un-smile' pose. She is completely natural and I told her not to smile actually if I remember correctly at the time.<BR/><BR/>Don't read too much into the 'sublime' message though although I share your view that there are many naturally beautiful people. Its only in advertising that models are glammed up to a western vision (even local tudung women advertising products are so made-up it becomes unnatural).<BR/><BR/>You will note that in my book, all the portraits are completely natural with direct eye-contact in 98% of them, I wanted to create a tension with the viewer as the eyes opens up ones personality, and I hope I have achieved it at least.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing and please do come back.svlleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10483364644350925722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4521487489226392235.post-44935567277182672702007-11-21T06:00:00.000+00:002007-11-21T06:00:00.000+00:00When I stared at the cover picture...I was mermeri...When I stared at the cover picture...I was mermerised by a Mona Lisa mythic. When I looked again with Rachel holding it, I realised that many beautiful people in Malaysia are hidden and covered by an artificial lack of self expression and confidence. I actually believe that free expression is one way to lift up Malaysia. Hahaha...this might not be the message you intended to express. I do read your blog but did not comment lah. v9Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4521487489226392235.post-53206317739642729192007-11-20T10:45:00.000+00:002007-11-20T10:45:00.000+00:00Thanks for popping by v9! and appreciate your supp...Thanks for popping by v9! and appreciate your support.
