Name: Justyna L.  Bien

Explanation: I was inspired by darkness  BUT  in opposite way:) This is a photo from new collection of Yvesher corsets  and  they are very dark, and  sharp.
So, I wanted to  have a contrast by adding light but still a little scary background.

Melissa Rodwell's Critique: I am also inspired by darkness so this shot stood out to me right away. I think Justyna's lighting is really good. So is the hair and make up for this shoot. The model is emoting well and her pose works well. Overall, it's a nice capture of a sultry, dark, sexy moment but it's also showcasing the corset, thus making it a good advertising shot. Well done, Justyna!!

Name: Gabriele Di Mola

Explanation: This picture comes from a pitcures series called Twin sisters i've done in FLorence, a story between those two girls so similar so different so near so distance from each other, I Particulary love this picture of the series the contast between the rich location and the grungy mood that represent also the different personality of the tween sisters.

Melissa Rodwell's Critique: This shot came in a few weeks ago and I didn't pick it last time but after reviewing the latest entries, I kept going back to this shot by Gabriele. It's haunting. The reason I didn't pick it the first time was because I didn't think it was strong enough in saying "fashion". But the location, the staging of the models, the light.....it's all so epic that I couldn't resist picking it for the SOTW this time. But I would love to see Gabriele go back to this location and shoot some incredible clothes! I really appreciate Gabriele's use of composition and her eye for filmic beauty. Great job, keep it up!

Name: David Olkarny

Explanation: I study moviemaking.
I wanted something cinematic, catchy and colorful.

Melissa Rodwell's Critque: I think this shot has a very cinematic feel and I love  the soft, romantic light as well. I just kept going back to this shot, I think it's well composed and lit and the model also has a very pretty, approachable look to her. Great job, David. Keep up the good work!

Name: Christian Michael Melvin

Explanation: I wanted to create a image that was soft and ethereal with a light and airy feel. This particular photograph definitely holds a special place in my heart.

Melissa Rodwell's Critique: I love this photograph. It is definitely ethereal and it works! I love the colors and the model's pose. It has a special feeling to it. I have to admit I'm sort of "over" underwater pictures, but this one where the model is on the water's surface is really strong! Great job, Christian! I hope to see more of your work in my inbox!

Name: Onasoglou Eleni

Explanation: I was shooting this in my beautiful island Syros in my vacations, It was October and the weather was very cold

Model: Nikoletta Onasoglou

Melissa Rodwell's Critique: This is one of those shots that looks carefree and casual but actually is a wonderful moment caught by photographer Onasoglou who obviously knows what he (or she, I'm sorry I don't know your gender!) is doing! First of all, the moment is real, the girl has a wonderful ease and happiness about her but at the end of the day, Onasoglou did what us fashion photographer's are asked to do: sell the clothing! The swimsuit looks fabulous and it pops right out! There's no escaping that the suit is the star and it looks like nice material and it would be something even I would like to see in person, try on and maybe buy. And THAT is what makes for a successful fashion photograph! I can't say the hair and make up are amazing because there's relatively none to speak of but this shot and the shoot itself doesn't have to have hair and make up that screams! It's subtle and soft and just perfect. I really love this shot. Big shout out to Onasolglou and the team, model included!
