omg emily welker


What do I love about this photo?

Let me count the ways:

1. It's in front of a sewer grate, plus: steam.

2. Emily seems inordinately happy, and she's really good at it because she probably isn't, considering I positioned her in front of a weird steaming grate and said only this: "Make your face good."

3. Also: her happy face is perfectly positioned in the far third of the photo, which is ideal.

  1. Pure joy. I will look at this picture whenever I am sad. Love the crop.

  2. The winky eye in this photo just kills me. But I love the picture and the steam just adds a little "something" to the happiness of the picture!

  3. I like this photo mainly because I always seem to like photos where the main subject isn't perfectly centered. It always makes the photos seem more realistic, and less like glamour shots from a mall kiosk. And the fact that this photo was orchestrated by only saying, "Make your face good," is an accomplishment in itself. Well done.

  4. I love her expression! This is a great moment. Props to the photographer for creating/capturing this (even if it was forced, it doesn't appear that way.)
