I've always wanted to do a smoking/braces shoot. For some reason I find the juxtapositioning of an adult pleasure such as smoking with the juvenile torture of orthodontics strangely appealing. and Carla here pulls it off beautifully... is she a teenager trying to look like a grown-up? Is she just a really young looking adult? I love the story here. I love the feel and the story of this picture. And of course, I think Carla is one of the more beautiful ladies I've worked with.

Crits on photography are welcome. But please, no childish remarks about smoking. If you don't like smoking, tough shit, deal with it. If you cannot be kind to me, please respect the model.

Did she do any actual smoking or just light and hold?

I know your type - it has to be real in order to be real, huh?

What do you think she did?

Nope you are wrong about me. I prefer its real, but if it's not and just holds that's cool too. I only asked because you said she no longer smoked. Don't make assumptions

*GerryPelser Jan 13, 2013 Professional Photographer

Aw, I said it tongue in cheek, because I'm the same way! ;-D
