I’VE ALWAYS BEEN FASCINATED by Japanese models or cosplayers who were in their own photobooks, being sexy but looking so innocent. It’s a perfect and pretty combination from me–looking so sexy but classy at the same time. If ever I cosplayed characters I always wanted them to be sexy–but not too much, preferring mostly playful and fun characters rather than sultry seductive ones.
I’ve recently come to know that there is a word you use to define such photos and photobooks. Gravure–photos featuring Asian models who look sexy and innocent at the same time. The key is said to be keeping the body sexy but the face looking playful and innocent. Gravure photos are mostly casual, taken in casual scenarios, keeping a “girl next door” image to it. My brother Joey and I took some photos that could be gravure, too, a few weeks back. Here are some photos I decided to share.
Fun and playful and innocent but sexy. I think I can manage that. All I need are cat ears and a good corset.
