Description

I shot this back in June (I believe) with one of my favorite groups of girls! I wanted to pitch a little lace tent outside and have a ton of pastel fun. However, on the day that we decided to shoot, we had torrential downpours. Everybody ended up being super late because the roads had all flooded, and obviously we couldn't shoot outdoors. Knowing that it would be gross outside a few hours beforehand, I decided to set up our background inside (no tents sadly), and make do with that we had! Even if it's not what I had in mind, it was still lots of fun to shoot with my favorite girls <3

This is my first photography critic so please forgive me if anything I say may sound wrong.

Firstly, I really find this shot stunning! My eyes were immediately drawn to this. I like how the model's face is. It conveys dreamer message that you were going for due to the faraway look in her eyes. It creates a the sense of seeing but not exactly seeing. Her gestures help to corroborate this idea as it expresses wonderment. Yes, to a certain extent it is cliche but she managed to pull it off beautifully with such grace. I love the design on her dress. It doesn't quite add to the dreamer bit but it adds an element of fantasy as she looks almost similar to a fairy. Overall, the model in this photo does a good job based on her expression and the fluidity of her movement.

I will now move on to critique the setting. I am sorry to hear about the mishap that happened on that day. I'm pretty sure that this would look even more stunning outdoors! Anyway, I like how you still managed to come up with a nice looking backdrop on quite a short notice. Its simplicity makes the model stand out even more due to the contrast in colours and details. Despite this, I do feel that the setting is not that impactful as it should have been. It feels as though something is missing from the atmosphere. Maybe you might want to try tweaking the contrast, brightness and colour levels to make it seem more dreamy. It might help if you made the colours a bit warmer as it will add a nice touch of contrasting colours. I think that it will look nicer on the bubbles as well. Additionally, a little more bubbles would be nice in this photo. This is especially at the bottom right corner. The top right looks rather cluttered and as a result, this photo looks slightly unbalanced. Overall, I still believe that the atmosphere could have been better improved on but in light of what happened that day, you and your team still managed to produce good results. Kudos to you for that! <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt="
