intentionally shot out of focus ;p

we did a set for poisonapplez.com
this was an extra though- i had to throw in a "darker" one.

her makeup.
collaborative styling, my petticoat.
and i spraypainted her feet white :)

full set of actual shots will be live on poisonapplez.com when the site launches.

Critiques


:iconaslikolcu:
Started by seeing the other portrait of her from the day but when i followed the link for the "darker" one it captivated me , I couldn't leave the page nor diss the urge to write here first

This image works well in so many levels

Love her pose which gives a slight 'sad' feel to it in my mind
At the same time how her hair falls and creates the soft wave blending in to the blur gives a more soft and creepy feel than a direct scary one

The mainly monotone but still slightly saturated colors give the feeling that this is a scene from a dream or an ancient memory that haunts us

It makes me wonder what was the story of her
Why is she standing there staring in to my eyes
Is she in pain? Does she want to haunt me? Does she want to hurt me?Or does she just want someone brave enough to approach her?

I also love the intentional blur which adds to the entire dreamy and sort of surreal feel of it

I've lost count of the number of times I've looked at this picture today. I absolutely love it. It's subtle and creepy rather than being overtly horrific, and that subtlety is very effective in creating a familiar yet uncomfortable-feeling scene.

This picture tells stories. I want to know if the girl is in pain? Scared? Is she alive or is the a ghost? The softness of the little escaped tendrils of hair combine beautifully with the softness of the net at the bottom of the petticoat to frame the rest of the model's body.

I don't really have any suggestions. The girl-with-tortured-soul theme is one that has been played out many times by many different artists, but you bring something special to it - atmosphere.

Beautiful! I like how it still has a dark atmosphere even though it's white and soft looking.
