This image is one of the most popular from this series. Here, Charis' face is turned away from the camera, and she becomes a universal metaphor. The distortion created by Edward's steep camera angle is particularly visible in the miniature size of her feet and waist as well as in the exaggerate fulness of her buttocks.
