Thought I would take another picture for the past week's theme. I mirrored her face to play with that sense of being perfectly symmetrical which is said to be the definition of pure beauty, plopped that oh-so alluring blonde wig on to help with the surreal...and EXOTIC look, anywho, tell me what you guys think. hugs and kisses
Like I said in my comment on the other image - this falls slightly flat in comparison.
ReplyDeleteI really like this idea though, and I think that if you want to stick with this idea then you might want to play with the model's expression a little bit. She looks a little stunned and awkward. Also the gradient in the back is a bit distracting, and maybe a bit too harsh and blown out around the hair near the face.
You could also play with the hair a bit more. The subject has a pretty face, and the viewer is forced to look at it and pull it apart because you can tell that something just isn't right (caused by the mirroring). It's subtly creepy, whereas the hair is just an obvious hot mess! Maybe you could play with that subtlety in the hair as well?
