The Girls Next Door has taught you much: on how to dress (a velour jumpsuit or nothing), that things aren’t always as they seem (being a girlfriend does not a Playmate make).

Above all, to stop making mountains out of molehills.

For your star turn, let Clare Barboza train her lens on your shenanigans. The photographer captures subjects “doing what they do” in their own space or a location meaningful to them. Each candid pic contributes to a narrative arc, forming a photographic documentary or personal pictorial.

Barboza consults with couples, families, or individuals to determine what aspects of their lives and personalities make the best photographic fodder. Then she spends three or more hours as a fly on the wall snapping moments and charming idiosyncrasies.

You’re no centerfold, but you do have an image to uphold.
