Feels like it's been an incredibly long time since I uploaded anything personal. This is one of my favourite pieces as of late, done for my 2nd book and exhibition. Hope you enjoy. <3

The both of them were super incredible to work with. Thank you dears. :heart:

PS: The flowers are real~ and I really tried to do a cropped version for safe viewing, but it just doesn't really work. So sorry ;_;

The beauty of this photo is not in it's bold reds, its strong blacks nor is it in her tremendous facial beauty. To me it is in the ends of her soft lashes, the slight hint of her tassel formed nipples and her subtle hunch. I couldn't care less about anything else. Yet, it's nothing without the elements put into it. The colours are very Asian in a setting that seems cold. The image is personally to clean for my taste but goes to show the incredible lines that it has. Melancholic but I'd like to see the model try a sadistic smile.

The cropping works but is a bit straightforward, I think she could have benefitted a lot from more space. Give her wonderful hair the room it deserves!

I think the hair needs more attention generally, because it's the most original part of the photo for me. The colour of the flowers goes great with the background and her makeup; but a variety of colours (maybe a bit of yellow) would give the photo a focus. At the moment there's no focal point. If you had chosen either her face or hair as the focus, then it'd be a stronger portrait, IMHO.

The lovely subtle highlights on her hair are rather lost next to the strong white of her skin, which is a shame. But generally the lighting is fantastic. I love the cool shadows on her neck.

It's good that you didn't crop her breasts off; I really like the strong lines of her arms, chest and back and how they contrast with the curves of her face and hair.

Extremely superb shot. One of the most hypnotizing photos I've seen yet. Outside the picturesque model, the tones are really balanced and a great sense of tranquility. The shot itself is simple yet powerful at the same time, thus alluring the viewer to make sense of this. Look forward in seeing more of your work. Take care.

Stunning image, the focus is the girl's face and the strong highlight running down the face and body is counterbalanced by the large dark hair shape. A well balanced composition.

Ah I'm in love with this, her hair is amazing and I love the contrast between the shade of her hair and her white glowing skin. It's beautiful! <3
