All of us in Monte Vista Christian School know we’ll one day have graduation photos for the yearbook taken. As the time __1__, the girls start to have a __2_about what they’ll wear and where to take the photos, while the boys, ____3____, hardly talk about it. As for me, I ____4____ for my photos to be taken by the sea.
When I arrived there, I met my photographer, Annie. She asked me to make some poses and I ____5____ her advice. After that, I asked if she could make me look ____6____ by takings photo in a different way, ____7____ I’m less than 1.6 meters tall. To my ____8____ she responded, “I will make no ____9____ to make you look like someone you’re not. You look good in your own way.” She ____10____ that she wouldn’t try to edit the photos either.
I was shocked by what she said. Girls always ____11____ to look perfect by using different visual angles. When you go to a photo studio, photographers always try to hide your ____12____ by telling you to stand in a certain way. And picture editors can easily ____13____ your look by making you appear any you want to. ____14____, that’s not the case here. Seeing I was ____15____, Annie explained: “Everyone has his uniqueness. You need to ____16____your own beauty. You cannot live in a world of ____17____photos.”
It was the first time that I had met a photographer who doesn’t ____18____ photos at all. After the shoot, I saw the photos — they are ____19____ special and natural. But what’s even more special are Annie’s ____20____, which will always stay in my heart.
