Personal Information:
Name: Brian Rolfe
Explanation: With this shoot we really wanted to capture something dark and sensual but with an air of mystery and movement. Our model, Kayt was transformed with wig and hairpieces to give a bohemian gypsy look that has a Sophia Loren feel from a movie I still cannot recall but it’s in my head!
Melissa Rodwell’s Critique: I normally steer away from choosing beauty shots because I really wanted to credit photographer’s who shoot fashion well. But this shot really stood out this week for me. Brian wanted to capture something dark and sensual…and he did! The shot is beautiful. I love the expression on the model’s face, it’s very beautiful and sensual. And I like that Brian shared that there were wigs and hairpieces added, because that often times is the case: we embellish all the time to get the effect we’re after. Love the black and white as well in this shot. Great capture, Brian. And don’t worry….I can’t recall half the movies I’ve seen over the years that have inspired me!
