Starbucks Coffee Girl

One thing that struck me recently about lookbook is the maturity of its audience, or rather the people whom subscribe to its community. Not only are they from all over the word but also from a variety of age groups, cultural background, cliches and sub-cultures. Take the young Miss Alice Bremberg shown above (source), I stumbled upon this particluar image of hers while browsing the profile of another member of lookbook it was the pose that interested me at first because the vast majority of lookbook photos are taken while the model is standing or sat on a chair, it is very rare to see them sat cross legged so the pose is rare and interesting especially from a photographic point of view. I am sure this was not the intention of the photographer (Miss Bremberg) but sometimes the best photos are composed more through luck than intention; seccondly the simple colours provided on show in contrast to complex textures gives the eye something to really look at, more so the blue of the tights because it stands out so much against the white of the bed-sheets. One criticism of this photo I must add is the position of the lamps behind the girl, while I am sure these are fixed and subsequently unable to be removed I would have been temped to photoshop them out of the image in post-production before publishing, if for no other reason than to see if the photo worked with them out of the picture. As it is this is an outstanding photo for lookbook standards and one I felt nessessary to share here.
