“I needed to catch them slightly distracted to be able to do my photos.” Dörr spent hours following a cadre of preteen girls as part of the nationwide Young Miss Brazil contest. “It wasn’t easy,” Brazilian photographer Luisa Dörr said. In fact, it may be a more difficult task to get a Young Miss not to strike a pose. She swings her hair around to one side, stretches her neck into a long line, and delicately cocks a hand on her hip. In front of the lens, she transforms herself into a supermodel. Walk into the room with a camera, and she’ll grab you by the hand, tugging you into position.
It’s not hard to get a Brazilian “Young Miss” to pose for the camera.
