This girl takes her appearance seriously. She has carefully painted her face in Thanaka paste, Burma’s traditional makeup, and added lipstick and two flower for accents. Chatting with her (in English!) in the courtyard of a ruined temple, I asked her about her makeup. She told me that she often experimented with different designs. It seemed to me that young children were often much more daring than adults in how they used Thanaka to create the face of Burma. To underscore her bold cosmetic presentation, I chose a somewhat disoriented vantage point, bringing my camera down low to shoot up on her face and tilting the frame as I did so. By doing this, I am able to reorient the image along a diagonal axis. Placing her face in the lower right hand corner, I use this low vantage point make the thrust of the old temple walls echo the flow of the bold yellow patches and stripes of Thanaka she has applied to her face.
