 I know this isn't DPC mainstream friendly but hopefully I will reach a select few who will appreciate this. I am predicting a 4.5 finish

I also may get hit with DNMC since it is more like waist down but it is kinda hard when your model is under 4 feet tall :)

I got the inspiration partially from this image by Joshua Hoffine. I wanted to create a shot that draws the viewer in and gives them questions but no answers. Is she walking upstairs or down? Why is she holding the bear? What is the light? Is she scarred? Is she alive? Is it a dream, a nightmare? Is she in danger?

I hope you enjoy.

I like the low key approach. This makes me really study it, which I like. :) 7
