Name: Vaiva Hawkins

Explanation: I really wanted to do something dark, but cozy at the same time. So I thought i'll put a huge and soft scarf and dress model in a really comfy sweater and do the shot somewhere in the woods. And I think it totally worked! :)
Model - Alisa Feist @Pearl Model Management.

Melissa Rodwell's Critique: This shot is just simply beautiful. I love the emotion emanating from the model. I could stare at it for a long time, it had that much impact on me. And for me, that makes a great photograph. It reminded of a classic portrait, it's maybe not so high end fashion. But I want to promote Vaiva's vision and to tell her to keep shooting because I think she has an eye and she should keep exploring that. I love the black and white as well. I love photographing in the woods. They're just something magickal about being in them and shooting in them. Great job, Vaiva!!

Name: Hugh Chaloner

Explanation: Inspired by Italian Vogue and the model's natural beauty :)

Melissa Rodwell's Critique: The lighting on this shot is really beautiful. And interesting too. I love the styling as well, it's a very strong fashion photograph. The model is perfectly cast and the make up artist did a great job as well. I like the model's pose and her emotion. All together this shot is very well executed and stands out! Great job, Hugh!!

Name: Alex Pott

Explanation: This image is the result of light-painting the model.  We had access to some genuine old armor which we combined with some contemporary fashion.  To add to this we wanted the photography to also feel somewhat more old-school and ditched the strobes.  Once the model posed in complete darkness we painted her with a torch.  She was an absolute trooper to hold still for us - especially with this 25 pound chestplate.

Melissa Rodwell's Critique: I LOVE this shot! I would've ditched the strobes as well, and have on many occasions because the shot dictated that direction. The lighting is beautiful on this shot! Great job, Alex. I love how you went in and painted the model with light. And she is a trooper standing still with that chestplate. I love the clothing, the armor piece is awesome and the model is perfect for the mood. She's emoting and Alex captured her perfectly. Kudos to the hair and make up artists as well. Great Great Shot!!

Name: Kyna Marie

Explanation: I wanted to try to create a golden backdrop reminiscent of romantic paintings; soft and whimsical.

Melissa Rodwell's Critique: I am inspired by paintings, especially from the romance period. So I really liked this shot. I love the mood and the model's demeanor. There's not much fashion to it, although the collar is fabulous!  This shot is more about mood and lighting which I think was executed very nicely. Good job, Kyna!

Name: Jo Perez

Explanation: I was inspired by the 1930's haircut style. I wanted to stay in a soft light atmosphere with a mixture of external and internal.

Model: Adriana Bude

Melissa Rodwell's Critique: I love this shot. It's moody, sexy, it's full of emotion. I love the '30's hair style as well. I'm a fan of "The Lover", the book by Marquerite Duras, and the shutters in this shot remind me of her lush descriptions in the book. The lighting is really good, not too dark so we can't see detail in the black clothing or too bright, overtaking the intended sexiness of the shot.  I feel like I want to be there, or that I can "feel" what it's like to be there and to me that's a well executed photograph. Thanks, Jo. Keep submitting your work!
