Asking the important questions! 🤔
. And Leaney says that while the notable figures or celebrities she shoots do often smile throughout the process, the "smoldering" look is often "the winner, the mag cover, the brand hero shot."
To understand the link between a smirk and high-brow elitism, Leaney looks back to the turn of the century when cameras were first used publicly and the subjects they captured often appeared forlorn or wistful. These expressions were attributed to pre-existing art forms , as well as being unable to hold a smile for longer posing periods in both painted portraiture and old cameras with slow shutter speeds, Leaney says.
But choosing not to smile was as much of a performance as it was a convenience. Mark Twain is often quoted as writing, in a letter to the, "A photograph is a most important document, and there is nothing more damning to go down to posterity than a silly, foolish smile caught and fixed forever.
"Humans are simple creatures; we are a product of our environment, and we are constantly exposed to hundreds of images, endlessly scrolling, each and every day," she says. "So it's no surprise we find ourselves trying to emulate what we stare at — anything for a higher cheekbone, bigger eye, or a fuller lip. We sell our personal brand as best we can, aligning with the behaviors and poses of our favorite models and celebrities.
But normcore girls like me often do take our cues from what we see online. And if no one is smiling, and they happen to appear enigmatic and commanding while they're at it, then — to hell with it — despite my very expensive orthodontic procedures, I'm not smiling either.I want to look like the women who are being looked at...the women who are being seen.
