It is also instructive to compare this image with the portraits Tim and I made of her simultaneously in that Beijng hutong. Yours is the only vertical format, with the long door echoing her body language. You give us much more of her costume as well -- the pink pants, for example. Tim (http://www.pbase.com/mityam/image/93926376 ) goes horizontal. There is the same edge to her shyness that you found -- a touch of fear. In my image of her (http://www.pbase.com/image/86311225 ) I come the closest for intimacy, and she appears a touch more relaxed at the moment. We are each telling different stories even though we shoot from the same place at the same time.
