people (portraits & fashion) Georgia Glennon, hair and makeup by Kat Quinn

Hey,

Would love some constructive criticism on this image

Thanks

Russell

It is a pleasant enough portrait, Russell. Almost a little too many elements to take in at least to my taste. Simple is better huh? I like the rose floral head lei/haku lei but it draws away does it not from her face and hair and makeup it is large and bold.... Perhaps if Georgia were HOLDING the roses as a bouquet away from her face (and also give here something to do with her hands in the bargain, would seem pretty natural.. I suggest a wee little more negative fill via a dark card on her left to take away some illumination to decrease highlight on cheek and nose,--- just a little bit not a lot. Her hair would be my focus of attention and getting some "life: into it on both sides of her lovely face-you will have to figure out how you would want to do that via lighting so many possibiliites. Now as to delicate topic. Her dress straps are plain old dull, what can one say.they hold up the garment.. Yeah that would take some attention beyond just MUA but worth it w MUA to get less of the kind of pedestrian straps which bisect lovely shoulders with a dull bland strap like all dull straps. ...OK, I spent a lot of words because I think/trust you are interested in opinions and will not be offended even if you and your crew disagree. i like your model and the floral concept is fine and dandu .it could be reworked into a great shot and I urge you to consider how and whether you agree..I do wish you and Georgia and Kat the best, aloha,-g-
