Personal Information:

Name: polina osherov

Explanation: My inspiration often comes from locations and this old commercial basement had the kinds of textures, colors and mood that I knew would compliment the dark, punk-goth feel of some of the clothing pieces created by young local designer Misty Dodson. My original inspiration was that W spread with Bruce Willis and his model wife.

Stylist: Nikki Sutton
Make-up: Kiralee Hubbard for Eyemax Make-up
Hair: Irina Green
Model: Natalie Gibson
Fashion: Apgar Designs

Melissa Rodwell’s Critique: I love the location used for this shot. Polina is right….the textures and colors are fabulous and make for a very dramatic location that compliments the punk-goth feel of the styling. I like Polina’s lighting, it’s well executed and I commend Polina for actually shooting at the location as oppose to photoshopping the location into the shot. Styling is well done and the choice of model works for this photograph. I took a look at Polina’s website and she has some very good work on there. Overall, the shot works for me. Great job, Polina!
