Only thing flying is her hair


Another, more professional looking photoshoot. I could say something about La Roux wanting her hair back, and I already did, so let's get to mistakes then:

1. Gripping the bowstring with the whole fist is a clear mark of someone who has never held a bow in their life before and were not instructed at all how to use it. It is funny, did the photographer just ask for a model and someone to lend them the bow without anyone who actually knows how to shoot at present? Looks like it. Would they do the same with a gun? What about a car (lending it for a photoshoot, nobody actually knowing how to drive, and the end result looking comical)?

2. Another beginners mistake, holding the arrow with their index finger. Nope.

3. The arrow has a terrible fletching, looks more like fly fishing lure than fletching of an arrow.

4. The bow is also ugly. Is it covered in scales or something? It looks too bulky and stiff. On the other hand those tufts on the ends of the bow are okay, some indigenous archers in the Americas for example used those kind of decorations on their bows.

5. No other arrows or a quiver anywhere to be seen. But maybe she should get clothes first, and worry about a quiver after that.
