A bit off topic, but I'm looking for a word to use in my Digikam albums

[Chris Green]

This is a little off topic maybe but it is for use in digikam.

I'm looking for a word to describe "not quite glamour" photographs.

I am trying to come up with a set of tags to indicate the 'style' of
photographs of my wife taken over many years.  I have come up with:-

    Artistic (like silhouettes taken against a sunset)
    Candid (self explanatory)
    Glamour (also self explanatory)

What I can't come up with is a name for those photographs which aren't
quite glamour or pinup shots but are showing how pretty she is (and
are also probably in a swimsuit or bikini etc.).  They're not
portraits, they're "pretty girl on a holiday" shots, but what do you
call them?

I'd say "charme" or "beauty".
Or sexy, cute, lovely, erotic? Why not "pretty girl"?

have fun.

I guess "pretty girl" is about as close as I'm going to get.  :-)

Sexy and erotic are in the other direction from glamour to my mind!

Yes, 'Natural' was one of the possibilities I had been thinking of
using.  I suppose it's only a sort of code for my own use so it
doesn't matter too much what I use, I'm just fussy!  :-)
