The Male Gaze - Marjorie Ferguson (1980)


Chocolate Box

Half/full smile, lips together/slightly parted with teeth barely visible. Face turned towards camera or else full face. A blandly pleasing picture, devoid of uniqueness.

Invitaional

Mouth shut with a hint of a smile, emphasises on the eyes, with the head to one side or looking back to the camera. A 'flirt', hinting mystery/mischief.

Super-smiler
Picture includes the whole face with a wide/broad smile. Hair can be blown around the face, and the head is either pushed forwards or the chin is thrown back. 'Look at me!' attitude, can be seen as aggressive.
Romantic/Sexual

The picture includes a male and a female, or partners, with a dreamy quality. Both people will be heavy-lidded and possibly in an overly sensual/sexual pose. Makes the people look available.
