The fallen angel rises...

Image collected in my photobook: Something Beautiful.

I designed and sewed the dress, it was shot before and not inspired by 300 the movie.
There were some 20meters or so of chiffon and tulle, many hours of sewing, unpicking, resewing involved.
Hope you enjoy. <3

*edit*
Yes, I am aware that Forever Slave ripped this image. I'd already sent a cease and desist but I haven't gone further with the legal proceedings because I just don't have time and money and energy to deal with this right now. I promise I will one day.

It seems like there is wind blowing up from the ground. The girl is looking up to the sky, eyes closed, seeking for redemption as she faces the sky, searching the clouds for a hope, for a light, for a god. All she wants is to be free. and the wind blew around her, kindda like a sign from the god or the powers above, that she soon will get her hope/release. But the worldly troubles (the cloth) is holding her down. It's very beautiful, and so much depth. and the dress is really nice

Definitely worth every single once of effort.

I love how the background darkens towards the edges; it gives the impression that the model is emitting light. The picture holds allot of emotion and atmosphere, and the dark hair contrasts well against the ivory clothing.

The picture has an almost dreamlike quality about it, it is blurred a little and the clothes seem to blend into the background.

She seems to be falling, but gently so, as her eyes are closed but she is holding some of her clothes as if to stop herself from falling. The blurred hair and clothes billowing around her add to this effect.

It is a very pure picture, and caught my eye.
Overall, very elegant shot, well done.

READ OR DIE TONIGHT AT 10:35 ... ... P.M .9 years ago ...a person named jerry got dared to sleep in a house that was believed haunted. The .. Nextday his friends waited for him outside the house.... ..... ..... .... They had to go inside and search for him. They went through every room exept the attic. He wasn't supposed to sleep there. He was supposed to sleep in the living room they went to the attic. Hey saw Jerry's corpse and they just left because they were scared. But that night they all died because of their friend. He killed them all for making him sleep in that house if you don't send this to 11 comments you will die tonight by Jerry. Example 1: A man named Stewart read this and didn't believe it. He shut off his computer and went through his day. That night while he was in bed he heard something outside of his door. He got up to look. And now he's dead. Example 2: A girl named Haley Read this in the morning and she got scared but she didn't send it. She wanted to now if it was true. She went to school (She was only 13 years old) and that night she died. If you don't post this on 11 comments tonight jerry will 'visit' you his isn't fake. Apparently, if you you copy and paste this to ten comments in the next ten minuets you will have the best day of your life tomorrow. You will either get kissed or asked out, if you brake this chain you will see a little dead girl in your room tonight. In the next 53 minuets someone will say I love you
