Catalogue
• A neutral look as of a dummy, artificial, wax like
• Features may be in any position- but most likely to be with eyes open wide and a smile
• Looks remain vacant and empty with personality removed
This pose shows a model as an object more than a person. An artificial look appeals to the needs of men (they aspire to be him) and women (they want to be with him).
