Name: eddyzone showcase

Explanation: I was walking through the streets of Paris to find a new location when I suddenly thought "Wow this could be a moneyshot". The backdrop in combination with the reflecting street and the bridge behind gave me the feeling that I have to build a shooting based on this single frame.

I am very happy with the outcome and couldn't imagine it any better. This is my favorite photo.

Photography: Edgar Berg
Model: Priscilla Miegemolle Dime
Makeup / Hair: Juan Romero
Styling: Frog-Agency

Thanks Melissa for supporting artists for this long time.

Melissa Rodwell's Critique: I love this shot! Definitely the "moneyshot", Edgar. The backlight is beautiful, I love the way it lights the lace. I love the styling in this shot as well. The sharp heels with the soft lace, it's a great dichotomy. The horizontal works and the perspective with the buildings in the back add nice drama to the image. Congrats to Edgar and his team for a job well done!

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!
