Chloe remained still as Victoria backed fully against the wall, her eyes narrowed some, almost like a predator locking in on its prey, but the tantalizing smile on her lips was enough to disarm anyone. She processed the other female’s words, her head titling slightly as she did so before she decided to follow Victoria as she backed against the wall. Closing the distance until they were practically chest to chest.  Her eyes almost never blinked as she focused on Victoria and managed to keep the Camera held out to her side at the same level as she closed in.

 “But if you look through the lens then you would be missing out on this moment.”

  She smirked slightly and leaned in closer, testing that power further. Hearing her mention being beautiful but not knowing much about photography Chloe chuckled softly and focused on Victoria’s lips suddenly. Watching how the words formed as she arched a brow and inhaled some. They were close, which was what Chloe wanted in the first place. She had been playing model for the girl for a month or two now and Chloe felt it was safe enough to test the limits of attraction. With the Camera still in place she leaned in almost touching her thin lips against Victoria’s as she lingered only long enough to snap a photo of the heat of the moment that had suddenly surfaced. Lowering the Camera after she heard the snap she lingered a little longer, her eyes still focused on Victoria’s lips. It wouldn’t have taken much for her to close the small almost non existent space between their lips and see just how far a kiss could get her. However as she moved to lean fully in the heavy door to the photo room was pushed open. Letting out a frustrated sigh Chloe leaned back enough to look Victoria in her eyes.

“Looks like your real model is here now..” She commented as she looked to the door before looking back tot eh blonde she had pinned against the wall, “I think I proved my point though.” she smarted playfully, with a heated look still behind her blue eyes.

Victoria grinned widely. “It’s because photography is my passion. It’s not so boring as you think.” She explained in a pretentious tone. “There has to be a story behind the picture. See, the first image was simply ‘girl-standing-in-front-of- backdrop’ There was no depth, no story. In the second one, by shooting from that low angle, that demonstrated your power. Having you in focus rather than the your surroundings also added to that power dynamic. You see, this is pretty much a royal portrait showing the Punk Queen of Arcadia Bay. ” She concluded with a smirk.

Completely baffled by Chloe’s sudden approach, the young photographer backed away, but ultimately failed to prevent what happened next.

“H-hey you, that’s not a toy!“ She pretended to be angry, but her smile was disarming.  Victoria rolled her eyes and stomped over to the backdrop.

“I’ve been a few times, but I like to be behind it.“  not-a-clue.

Smiling she took a pose in front of the backdrop.

“Hmm, I guess picture of moments do last longer, but then are you really apart of the moment when your behind the camera? It’s not like you are able to focus on the shot and focus on the moment itself at the same time, don’t you feel like you kinda miss out on opportunities?”

The taller female watched the slightly shorter female through the lens as she posed against the backdrop, “Relax, I’ve held a camera before.” She smirked behind the camera before lowering it suddenly as she watched Victoria against the back drop. “I’m no queen, I run this town under the radar. I’ll let you and all the other royalty fight for the crown, I’ll just be the one giving people the dagger to stab everyone in the back with.” She chuckled some but stepped closer without lifting the Camera back to her face. A sly grin played at the edge of her lips as she studied Victoria’s pose with her eyes.

“Sooo if low angles create an image of power what kind of image do you think this would demonstrate?”

 Her voice suddenly dropped some as she stepped close enough to where their shoes nearly touched,  though Chloe stepped around Victoria’s feet in order to close the distance some more. With a half smile forming to her lips she held the camera up somewhat out to her side but up enough to get their faces in a shot if she clicked the button to do so. Sitting into her hip some she gazed down at Victoria with a lifted brow, genuinely wondering what her thoughts would be. In a way she was also testing the girl in the same moment, Chloe was bored with the mock photo shoot but knew it was an excuse to get as close as she needed to the girl who was of equal popularity as her. Chloe didn’t care much for the title, only more so that everyone knew her or of her at least. Arcadia was a small town, but it was only just a start for the rebel’s networking. However this she did deliberately out of the impulse in the moment. The mention of power caught her interest and now she was testing just how much power the blonde photographer saw in her.

Victoria grinned widely. “It’s because photography is my passion. It’s not so boring as you think.” She explained in a pretentious tone. “There has to be a story behind the picture. See, the first image was simply ‘girl-standing-in-front-of- backdrop’ There was no depth, no story. In the second one, by shooting from that low angle, that demonstrated your power.

“I’ve been a few times, but I like to be behind it.“  not-a-clue.

Smiling she took a pose in front of the backdrop.
