What a magnificent photo ad. Thank you for sharing it with us, Simply beautiful, serene and innocent, yet, a lingering notion of how Mother Nature sees all of us even at this age.
Notice her position in this photo, leaning in towards him, her head resting upon his shoulder, her arm draped through his in a bid for security and an act of subtle submission. His stance is tall, proud, confident, not embracing her yet allowing her to cuddle into him, establishing he is the one in firm control.
Dominance is hard to fake. Being submissive comes as second nature to most girls still, even confident Alpha girls, we have that streak within us as well, it reveals itself when we are in the presence of a man who can easily draw it out of us.
Models receive some general direction typically of course on photo shoots, but, it is a models role to also know how to behave and respond and give the photographer, stylist, as reps, clients, what they want or expect. This is the intuitive aspect of the job and some have while others do not. I found from my own prior experiences in this career, it’s instinctive more than anything else, and you tap into yourself on a deeper emotional and even sensual level.
I feel from studying this photo and these two models, coupled with what I know from my own experiences and also what I have gleaned from a number of young models I work with today in one capacity or another, is that they have legit chemistry together. She’s attracted to him. He’s harder to read, as most black men are, but what guy wouldn’t enjoy having a pretty little white thing hanging off him though, lol.
Beyond my own perspective of this great shot, I’m thrilled to see truth in advertising, since more snd more white girls are becoming attracted to black guys now. It’s happening all over, obviously, and it’s changing the landscape of our society finally. So bravo to the sponsor of this well considered ad, I hope they keep it going! Cheers, JoJo
