Name: Bagrad Badalian

Explanation: I wanted the picture to look fantastic, almost like a Tim Burton movie. I tried to bring an atmosphere to the forest.

Clothes design : Melissa Vitanza
Model : Aurore Morisse.
MU : Bart Colpaert

Melissa Rodwell's Critique: I think that Bagrad's attempt to recreate a Tim Burton feel in his shoot was very well accomplished! I love the smokey forest and the model fits the atmosphere very well. Good choice of model, indeed! The styling is good and so is the hair and make up. I think overall it's a strong fashion shot and very well executed. Good job, Bagrad, for once again winning the Shot of the Week!

Name: Luke Copping

Explanation: We wanted to create a beauty image the juxtaposed a the glossiness of her eye application with and the clean sweep and gloss of her hair with the perceived foulness that is often associated with an animal like a rat. We wanted to make sure that the rat did not overly dominate the frame and that her styling was still center stage.

Melissa Rodwell's Critique: How wild! I woke up this morning and thought, "I'd love to do a beauty shoot with a rat! " and then I went online to pick a shot of the week and here's Luke's shot of a gorgeous girl with a rat! I love synchronicity! First of all, I love the model. she's a perfect choice for this type of shot (although my idea is vastly different!). I love the Weimar feel to her. Hair and make up are fantastic! The retouching is a tad heavy handed for my taste, but then again, look at the Snow White shot and I don't have much ground to stand on...even though that was the client's decision. Styling is "there" enough to not detract from the beauty shot but of course the black onyx plays with the whole rat/dark/Weimar feel. Good job, Luke! I tried to go to your site and the link didn't work. I hope if you do indeed exist you jump on here and give us all a link to where we can see more of your work. I'd hate to be picking a ghost! ; )

Name: Daniel Archer

Explanation: A while ago I had my image win the "shot of the week". I was told It was a good image but I needed to work on the styling. This inspired me to work harder on my next shoots. This is one my favorites from the day.

Melissa Rodwell's Critique: Before I even looked at Daniel's explanation, I thought, "the styling is really tight on this shot". And it is! I'm impressed how Daniel took my advice and followed through. I adore the detail that I see in the sweater and the pleats. The model is sweet for this type of clothing, very soft and demure. Daniel used his lighting to bring out the details in the clothes and to set the mood for the shot. Awesome job, Daniel!

Name: Lena Erysheva

Explanation: Credits:
Designer -  Karina Galstyan
Model -  Olga Shumkevich
MUA -  Mariya Mashutina
Hair -  Alekssandra Kaputskaya

Melissa Rodwell's Critique: Lena had submitted another image from the same shoot about a week ago and I almost picked that one but actually I like this one a lot more! The styling is wonderful and the hair and make up work really well with the mood created by Lena. I like the mystery in the model's pose, makes the viewer use their imagination. Lighting is soft and nice...it's just overall a really sweet fashion shot. Congrats, Lena. Thanks for submitting again!

Name: Harry Fayt

Explanation:  This an image I did for a  T-shirt designer here in Belgium. it was  a last minutes concept I proposed to make an underwater shoot at the last minute.  I wanted to make humor about the girls fishing (chat up). there is an other subtle reason but it's about french words on the tee-shirt and not that easy to explain quickly.'

Melissa Rodwell's Critique: I just think that Harry did a great job showing off a T-shirt. I love the humorous twist to it and the girl is perfect for the shot. Good lighting, I know lighting underwater can be challenging. Harry executed a old idea and gave it a fresh, young, friendly feel. Good job, Harry!
