featured in the group black and white photography.

I had originally uploaded this image looking for some critiques as this was an assignment for school… I did hand in the unfixed image, got some critiques at school, redid the image and will rehand it back in today! I think this edit is a lot better… I did a pseudo HDR to the background to really bring out some detail, I adjusted her bottom to really make it seem like she is on snow, and I fixed her shadow to make it more realistic.

My model was a fantastic woman only 40 some odd years young!

Also, this image was inspired by the work and style of ellen vonunwerth

    You really must start to accept that your work is simply stunning!

    I have had no time today to go through your PF in detail, but from what I have seen, your talent is awesome.

    Do always remember that what you produce for school will always be critically assessed – and the more bizarre it is, the more acclaim it will get. In the real world, your will be appreciated for the way it relates to all of us in that world.

    Believe in yourself and in what you do, and I know with all my heart that your work will be totally loved and admired here on RB. You have style, class and great technique.. and what’s more – I love it!!

    Well done, Cassandra! The new edits makes the combining of these two pictures, a match made in the, ethereally artistic, heavens. Instant fave :).

  • Big smiles here Jaeda! Thanks!

    You have really done this one right now. I really like it. Some of the best models I have ever worked with (and certainly the most reliable) were 40+ and favorites to work with. Good job on this.

  • I agree, and thank you… the BG and the model now work together and are not immediately visibly ps’ed.
