Hamptons Cocktail Party, July 1998.

This is a fairly typical ‘party’ photo: see the broad smile and almost suggestive amount of skin. However, the camera’s brutal flash and the lack of eye contact makes the scene look more sinister than it was probably ever perceived as by those acting it out.¬ The beaming woman’s teeth are overly outlined and seem slightly bared, the hand tugging at her clothes looks too obnoxious.
