| | Beautful as usual, Alexander!
But, shouldn't be "fantasy" instead of "fancy"?
And "fanciful", hmm. My dictionary describes the adjecive as "not based on reality", but this is not exactly what I meant. I meant rather a male photographer whose "fantasy" is great..., who fantasize a lot and is very creative taking pictures of the woman... |

| | I took it from Merriam Webster:
1 : marked by fancy or unrestrained imagination rather than by reason and experience <a fanciful person>
To some extent, "fancy" and "fantasy" are synonyms.
As of now, I do not have a better idea. Perhaps in a day or two something new shows up. |

| | So, let's leave the issue to our English expert...  |

| | Could "ingenious" or "imaginative" fit better (instead of "fanciful" )? |

| | Seems like "imaginative" is a bit better here.
imaginative
1. having a lively or creative imagination
2. tending to be fanciful or inventive
3. false or imagined
fanciful
1. imaginative or fantastic; unreal or imagined

| | Referring to a person, "fanciful" means something like "dreamer", though. |

| | Yeah, and since a photographer must be both a technician and an artist, he better be imaginative (so that he can imagine the results of his fancy) than fanciful. |
