Looking Upward

Looking Upward is a portrait pose where the person’s head and gaze rise toward the top of the image, so direction reads immediately in small buddy icons. The samples show dark-haired, light-skinned close-ups, with mild smiles or open-mouthed expressions, set off by simple vertical backgrounds like gradients or sky tones.
