For the Better

For this "For the Better" I took a while finding reference pictures and I came across this one.

Some have approached this theme to be relaxing and casual, but I saw this image to be quite empowering. This photo is taken from a low angle shot, so the emphasis of height is created and I thought that the woman looks quite powerful as the subject of the shot. At the same time, her skirt and the flow in her hair makes her look quite relaxed and comfortable...I kept on listening to The Script's "We Cry" and the lyrics "Mary's ambition/she wanted to be a politician/she'd been dreaming about it since she was a girl/she thought shed be the one who could change the world/always trying to pave the way for women in a man's world" kept on repeating through my head....so I thought it would be better for many women to be able to make a say in this so called "man's world" and the angle and pose of the model in this photo really spoke to me! =)
