Daily Deviation

Banshee by =michellemonique The suggester writes, "It's truly beautiful and aesthetic. I love everything about it. The model, her expression, the outfit, the lighting." Indeed, this is quite an impressive set up! Be sure you check out the "behind the scenes" link in the deviation description to see how the photographer achieved this.

Critiques


:iconbpelectricjojo:
This is an incredibly solid piece that fires on all cylinders. Your choice of color does a great job of communicating a cold vibe; the makeup and hair fit the tone well, and the lighting looks fantastic (even though that's a fairly challenging situation to light). It's well balanced in terms of composition, which is very impressive given the 'free-flowing' nature of so many parts of the background, yet the model is anchoring the piece really well. I'd love to give you some tips to improve this shot, but there's really not a lot that could be improved upon! The only thing I can point out is that I feel the background being split in tone about a quarter from the left border of the image seems a bit out of place. That seems to have just been a feature of the location, however, and maybe something that couldn't be worked around.

Cheers, and great piece!

First, absolutely beautiful piece. Caught my eye indefinately, and it's hard to catch my eye. The pose and overall grace of the piece is a wonderful capture.

I have two crits, one, i would have liked to see a tidbit of Photoshop applied to the piece to make that blue pop and the light a little bit more intense. I think it would have added to that really dreamy atmosphere your achieving.

Two, would be her make-up. I love the pale look, however, it really makes her face look incredibly dry. I'm not sure specifically what to use to make her skin look really moist but a bright and shiny skin can make it almost look translucent which would even intensify the piece even more.

this is really an incredible piece, you are truly talented, especially so young. I'm also amazed that you got THAT surrounding by a ledge on a stairwell!! Clever thinking!!

Very nice job overall.

It is not God who kills the children. Not fate that butchers them or destiny that feeds them to the dogs. It’s us. Only us.

Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like?

I didn't like it at first, but it kinda looks like part of the web.

Does the space at the top and bottom bug you?

Standing alone in the night,
no stars and no moon to guide me.
I’m living in a world without magic,
a world without hope.

Mother Earth is crying over her children
but nobody listens.
It’s the hour of the wolf
And there is no return.
