I guess I should have simply left my expression at "seem? unnatural." Hopefully you know that I love this entire series Montie. Many of them feel absolutely inspired; and inspiring. I find the group incredibly strong. this one seems to jump out of the group - with a very unique treatment and I don't believe that's due to the "high key". whenever I see a "noticeable" high key vignette my mind asks, "what aesthetic purpose does this serve?"
