Urban Beauty – Like a Deer in Headlights
As I was walking the streets of Lisboa, Portugal I walked passed what seemed to be a photo shoot in the middle of the street. A thick crowd had gathered to watch this beauty of a photo model as she was posing for the camera and crew were running around fixing lights and such.
From a distance I took my camera and focus on the urban beauty for a shot to document this seemingly unusual event. And as I looked through the lens at the young photo model she turned her head, intensely looking directly into my camera. Her expression said it all. Like a deer in headlights her face looked almost frightened. A moment of truth. A moment that pretty clearly documents our obsession with outer female beauty. And sure, she was a beauty but the true beauty lied more in the situation. People looking at her with admiration and curiosity and her, the urban angel, finding herself in the core of a surrounding caos.
I wonder what she was thinking?
well documented
like u say it realy portraits the obsession for female beauty we have, and always have had. perhaps nothing strange or new about it. but the photo really shows the exposure and objectification of the woman.
