Tao, Zoë, Han, and Mia Buck have been volunteering as photographic models
for the last seven editions of the Photoshop Elements Classroom in a Book.
Tao wants to become at least as famous as Audrey Hepburn; failing that, she’s
considering becoming a psychologist. Zoë loves to juggle with numbers and is a
talented gymnast. She is deeply concerned about the environment and wants to
study biology. Han spends her free time drawing and reading. She is interested
in nature, like her twin sister Zoë, and is thinking of becoming an explorer—or
else a falconer. Mia doesn’t want to commit to any profession yet. She is, how-
ever, passionate about the piano and a promising dancer.
