Name: Ben Bernschneider

Explanation: we needed something colorful for this black and awful expensive dress, so I came up with an 80s Bogner-Look...

Melissa Rodwell's Critique: I love the dreamy feel of this shot. I like the back lighting and the flare. I also love the model. I think you accomplished the Bogner look, Ben! So great job for you and your team!!

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!

Name: Raymond Woods

Explanation: Inspired By black and white photography that has a dramatic meaning and overall purpose in the story. This model in the photograph look confident and strong but yet i feel like she is striving for acceptance trust in the forbidden woods. I named it "No church in the Wild" Inspired by the early 1900s of African Americans with a modern twist .

Melissa Rodwell's Critique: This is such a well executed photograph. The composition is really well done. So is the styling, the casting of the model ( I love this girl! ), the mood. And of course, the black and white. It reminds me of a shoot Lindberg did with Naomi Campbell in Paris about 10 years ago. It was an epic editorial and this shot is in that same vain. I love this photo, Raymond. Excellent job!

Name: Ted Emmons

Explanation: I wanted to portray a sense of the love for the ocean and being out in nature even on a cold stormy day. I also have 5 more shots from this story if you are interested in using them.

Thanks :)

Ted Emmons

Melissa Rodwell's Critique: I like the use of the two images set in a horizontal (DPS) format. It tells a nice story. I love the mood and styling on these shots. And the choice of model was a really good one. This is a really good example of an excellent editorial with a theme and continuity. Great job, Ted!
