Has never asked for an apple box. One is always there.
Tomoe is the smallest of the studio’s models and the last to be told so. Her legs are, by the standards of her breed, admirably short, so she moves through a set at roughly skirting-board height and with considerably more poise than anyone above it.
She came to the studio through a Kyoto agency with a reputation for exacting standards, and passed all of them. Photographers who set out to make her look small have so far been unable to find the angle.
