You really see just the iceberg. The tip is the photo they post with a heart-eye emoji. Everything underneath is what actually made it good.
Light direction. Chin angle. The test frames you deleted. The joke you cracked to get a real smile. And under that? The contract, the deposit, the two years you spent learning window light before charging a dollar.
