I recently got a comment on one of my photos on Instagram from a fellow photographer saying that he wished all of his models were able to do this.
This was the very strong expression on the model’s face. And I couldn’t agree more with him. What makes a good model to me is her ability to give, better than follow direction, to fit in a role. Do we expect her to be bold and defiant or sassy and fresh ?
Here for this pastel theme shoot, I wanted Kristina, the model, to embody grace, delicateness, fragility and innocence. Her features are perfect for this notion. The makeup and hand poses were all supporting the story. Yet ultimately it’s her expression that brought it all together.
And to be honest there’s a lot of satisfaction seeing the story emerge from a collective effort, where everyone brings their talent to make the narrative come to life.
This is the second part of the Pastel theme shoot. View part 1 here.
