| The Real Mona Lisa |
 |
| One of the "Mona Lisas" from the book |
This was an interesting book and concept. The authors approached young women who weren't outright beautiful but were interesting looking in 5 cities around Europe. They weren't superficially beautiful but had a mystique about them like the original Mona Lisa. The models posed on a specially constructed chair that had a headrest. There are also a few landscape photos throughout the book but these coincide with the idea because they are portraits of the city itself.
All the photos in the book are framed well. The subjects are surrounded by a background that doesn't compete with them but adds to the photo. Each person is posing in a different way as well and doing different things with their hands and their faces. None of them are actually smiling but it shows how different each of these people are by showing the different things they do with their bodies.
