I found these images on tumblr and thought that they were inspirational. I like that each model is shown blowing bubble gum but the way they react to it is different. I believe this style of photography is referred to as typology.


"Typology is the study of types, and a photographic typology is a suite of images or related forms, shot in a consistent, repetitive manner; to be fully understood, the images must be viewed as a complete series" (Kristine McKenna, "Photo Visions," Los Angeles Times, 29 Dec 1991).
