Playing with doors
Doors and doorways are a great setting for a mini story. here the model uses
them to seduce, confront, confuse, and tease the viewer. By changing your
viewpoint and your lens, and combining close-ups with full-length shots,
you’ll have a rich variety of images in a very short time.

Contrasting styles
these two images demonstrate
the great versatility of doors as a
component in a scene. the image
on the right is light, bright, and fun,
the model playful and teasing.
in contrast, the image on the far
right feels moody and mysterious,
with the model striding purposefully
through one doorway toward
another. to enhance the feeling of
tension, i tilted the camera slightly
and allowed the model to disappear
from the top of the frame.
