I Can Make You Believe

48 / 365
Yeah you
You're biting your lower lip
While I'm still talking about what I can't get
With both hands around your hips
I can make you believe
- Bite Your Lip by Sing it Loud

When I heard about this week's theme, this was the first thing I thought of. I don't know why but it was. So, I brushed my teeth and flossed EXTRA well... threw on some lip gloss and got to shooting.

I found it really hard to take such a close up shot of my mouth... so I actually took a photo of my entire face and then cropped it down to this. Obviously I airbrushed my skin quite a bit and then I added the Cinemascope effect in Picnik. I'm pretty stoked with how it came out... it always nice to have the photo look like the idea that was in your head, right? =)
