I picked this one because it show’s the ‘wings’ of the dress as well as other details. It’s a pose that might be associated with the Charleston dance/ flapper girl image.  I also like the framing and the shape of the body. A little editing of the background to clean up (right). I have also got rid of a tattoo on her arm and a few bruises on her legs.

Bit of a ‘marmite’ image this one. Got mixed reactions, so I decided to put it in for that reason.  I like the pose, I feel that she looks like she’s going to ‘take off’  the ballooned cape also gives the effect of air flowing.  Simple edits (right). Try and clean up the background and I put a bit of work into trying to pull the hair away from the mouth.

Although this doesn’t show a lot of the dress detail, it does highlight the headdress, hair and makeup.  I felt this was important to show the excellent work that the fashion students had done, aside from the dress.  It is also a different perspective. Very little work on this one (right). Slightly darkened and a little highlight of the eyes.

My favourite shot out of the set. It shows the dress well and it’s detail. An almost fairytale look.  The model looks relaxed, in a world of her own looking off into the distance. I have darkened the distracting background light and highlighted the dress (right).

This was my favourite out of this sequence. The dress was well exposed, so the detail is visible and I like the look and pose of the model soaking up the sun.  A suggested improvement was a light inside the tower to illuminate the hair slightly.  My edits (below) were to darken the lighter background area’s and the turret and slightly highlight the dress.
