LeaOh’s portrait of two avatars shot back to back, zoomed in on their heads made me stop browsing and click through to see it full size. I love it. It reminds me of the beginning or ending of a dance piece on So You Think You Can Dance. You know if they start in that position, it’s going to be dramatic, sad, and modern. The next picture in her stream is the full body shot and sure enough it looks like the beginning of something choreographed by Mia Michaels.

This is just a lovely romantic pre-kiss photo. I like how casual and spontaneous it seems. Their poses have a bit of awkwardness which suggests spontaneity. It is far more effective at expressing the rush of emotion than a pose that is just so perfect. I love that feeling of being in the moment. 

This is another couple picture that has this naturalness that I really like about Lea’s photos. They seem comfortable with each other. They can relax and each be thinking their own thoughts. 

LeaOh’s is full of her couple portraits as well as pictures of her avatar and his on their own. She mostly does her work in black and white which makes for such striking images. There are some aesthetically erotic pictures that make this more appropriate to check out at home though they are all fairly discreet. I’ve featured her before in a 2018 column about Lawrence Pryce’s body Language challenge.
