Song to the Siren Vby `zemotion

Photography / Commercial Photography / Fashion

SingaporeBrides.com, Aug 2012

I got to collaborate with *harlequinromantique! Omg omg she was sooooo nice and sent me so much awesome jewelry I could use for the shoot and they were all so pretty *fangirl gush*

Been a long time since I used sand in the studio! We had about 500-600kg of it, setup and teardown was such a pain but so worth it for the concept I think. Thank you SingaporeBrides for the support~!

I think that from all the photos from The Siren Series, this picture embodies the Siren feel a hundred percent. From the partially wet hair to the tone and lighting of the picture, it makes a striking and sensual impact of the feminine fatality of Grecian time, the Siren who lures the men to their death. Some may oppose the black background but I it concentrates more on the view of the siren rather than some oceanic view that would steal away from the pic. The way the sand fades in the background give the view that she's on her recent ship wreck, aided by the scattered shells. The Grecian prop aides in that sentiment, giving the view of some lost relic stranded out at sea from the long ago ship wreck. The photo tells the tale of the fatality of the siren's song, and the striking beauty of the model is enough to see how the fatality comes about.

This piece really caught my eye. Before I start with all the positives, I first want to say one thing that I (personally) think would have improved this image. I think a nature based backdrop rather than a black background would have given this image a bit more power, but this is just a minor critique.
Anyway, I love this photo. You picked great props and the dress is gorgeous, and I'm not sure if you were aiming for this, it looks like a bridal gown, which is very interesting. Adds some mystery to the image, I think. Out of all the Song of the Siren photos, this one is definitely my favorite.
You have a real talent in photography, I wish I was as good as you!
