Indeed, same here. It would seem that very bright, flat light stuffed right into models' faces is de riguer here. As Tony Hancock might say, "very 'sheesh'"... Personally I dislike it but I do have to say that it suits the look they are all trying to achieve which is presumably a featureless pouting visage drained of any colour and looking ready for a slab in the mortuary. Let me have deep bronzed skin tones and full red lips anyday ;-) Cotty ____________________________________ Free UK Macintosh Classified Ads at http://www.macads.co.uk/ ____________________________________ Oh, swipe me!
