Hi Michelle,

First off, I enjoy your photography. Second, I think that the ultimate goal of any thoughtful critique should be to help the photographer achieve their best. You are obviously talented, but I think that you are capable of more.

As it relates to this photo, I am not crazy about how the models were arranged (specifically the male). I understand what you were trying to achieve (i.e. stalking her), but I believe that his positioning fails to communicate that. Even if you left the positioning to 'artists discretion', the shadows across his face are a bit too heavy. I also feel that the costume/clothes are bit disjointed from the female model.

I love everything about the female model - costume, makeup, lighting etc. It's fantastic.

Hope this was helpful.

A very lovely photograph. Yet as others have said: I feel the male is altogether out of place. It feels more like he has accidentally stepped into a prepared shot rather than being a part of it. Which is a shame, as the bottom half of the photo is very arresting.

This is a great collection of photos. I really, really love them, they are so gorgeous and tell such a wonderful, captivating story. This particular photo is my least favorite of the bunch, i think it the tie...it makes the picure look to modern, i think. the rest of them are absolutely stunning and i think you (and the models -they are fantastic...esecially the girl...she is gorgeous and creates wonderful feeling into her character. tell her that please) did an excellent job. simply beautiful.
