Model with a new Hat

[DiskoJoe]

Besides some minor lighting issues I would like to address your choice of scenery. The scene does not feel fitting for this outfit. Her outfit seems very urban and glamorous but you have her in a setting that looks very country.

The concept was to contrast the setting with the outfit... juxtaposition of elements. I guess it's a matter of personal taste on whether it works or not. Thanks for taking the time to look and comment... much appreciated.

Why were you going for this juxtaposition? What was your thought process?

Principles and elements of design. Your principles of design are rhythm/movement/repetition (all inter-related), emphasis, balance, unity and proportion. Concentrating on emphasis, I contrasted the simplicity of the dress against the texture of the rock wall. There is also contrast in the visual grunge of the space versus the elegance of the outfit... the beauty of the model versus her surroundings. There is contrast in the lightness of her skin versus the blackness of the dress. The presence of skin is a visually attractor. The leg peeking through the slit acts as a leading line up to the torso and head. I try to maintain visual simplicity in most work, so there really isn't much else for this set.

Hey, I'm not saying this set is awesome, it was presented for C&C, so I respect that there will be varying opinions.

Hi! Very gorgeous photos! If you were going for an Audrey Hepburn look, it would have been cool to see the white gloves. On #3 the hand shadow is creating weird stripes of light and dark on her cheek that look distracting. Her neck also looks very thick, and the necklace is choking her as opposed to lying gently in a loop at the base of her throat like in #1 and #2.

#1 is my favorite!

Yeah, we actual look for used gloves but could not find any. I agree about the necklace. It wasn't something I paid attention to once we started shooting, and it obviously tightened as the session went on. Thanks for your comments.
