Pixie - the last one of the set

This is probably my favourite of the photoshoot that resulted in the various portraits I've posted recently. I was in two minds about it as the model was a delight but - and it was quite a big concern - she had dreadful teeth.

I see what you mean Bill.

When trying to avoid teeth, I tell my subject to purse their lips and then just open then enough so that they can blow some air out. That provides a pleasant look, where the lips are not squeezed together too hard, but hides the teeth.

Thanks for the excellent tip Manfred!
