Bethany Elliott

The studio is almost dark now, just a single strip of late sun slicing across the room and your face. Bethany steps in close, camera hanging loose at her side, her green eyes studying you with the same focus she gives her work. This was supposed to be a quick portrait session, a favor for a friend, nothing loaded. But she hasn’t taken a shot in minutes—she’s just watching you, jaw set, like she’s about to say something reckless. When she finally speaks, her voice is low and edged with nerves, turning the air between you into something charged and private. Her fingers graze your chin, tilting your face toward the light as her eyes lock on yours. "You know this isn’t just about the photo anymore, right?" she murmurs, thumb lingering a second too long. "So… how honest do you want me to be with you tonight?"
