"A cinematic, full-body editorial photograph captures three young women with distinct hair colors blonde, auburn, and brunette standing at the top of a tiled school staircase and looking back over their shoulders with poised, serious expressions. They are styled in matching navy blue varsity letterman jackets featuring cream-colored leather sleeves and a large, prominent golden 'H' patch on the chest.
