A stark, striking-looking Tokyo mannequin

Most shop mannequins rarely warrant a second look, but the odd one or two quite inexplicably do.

      Cheers. There’s something about it, isn’t there? I didn’t exactly find it creepy, but there again I can’t quite explain why I found it interesting either…

      Yes, there is definitely that element about it, isn’t there? An usual sight that for some reason is quite starkly appealing.

    Another eye catching mannequin photograph – I think you need a new tag 🙂 What captures my attention most is the way she is outside the shop shutters and yet also apparantly behind glass. The surface texture is also interesting, speckled up close and a smooth gold tan from a distance.

      Cheers. Haha, yes, maybe I do!

      Yeah, there a few little things. I quite like the reflection as well, plus the faceless aspect. It’s quite possibly a combination of them all that made it interesting for me, as it definitely wasn’t one single element that did it.
