For Melbourne-based photographer She is Frank’s latest shoot, she teamed up with a stunning 20-year-old model Sophie Dhuji for a playful editorial in a plain setting.

She is Frank is a photographer with a set mindframe in terms of what she wants to capture. She seeks to capture reality and [real feminine beauty](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pillow-talk-beauty-soulmates). “[I] don’t take pretty girl photos without pretty girl breakdrops,” she said. And in this photohoot, She is Frank excels at making Sophie Dhuji pop in a number of ways. In a photoshoot where Sophie Dhuji’s face is obscured by feathers in one shot and her hair takes center stage in another, the viewer is drawn to Dhuji’s face because of her [ruby-red lipstick](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/herms-silky-lipstick-shine) and alluring smile.

In addition to being a model, Sophie Dhuji is a budding actress. She appeared in a full season of the UK/Australian television series Dead Gorgeous in 2010.
