Personal Information:

Name: Ross James

Explanation: Other than showing the designer’s clothes, I wanted to
contrast a darker mood with a child-like innocence. And there is an image that I once saw of Eugenio Recuenco’s that stuck with me where the model was standing in the background looking towards herself in the foreground which became an inspiration for this shot.

Designer: Heilyke
Model: Jennifer Vandiver
Hair: Heather Nichols
Makeup: Autumn Moore

Melissa Rodwell’s Critique: I think this shot is stunning! I love the styling. I also think Ross did a great job at creating a mood with the environment and accomplished a great shot from his original inspiration of a Recuenco piece. Make up and hair are perfect for this shot and his lighting is spot on. Great job, Ross. I hope to see more of your work in the future.
