Photoshoot #4

[Team Hara-Kiri]

~ The Devil ~

Okay, so, I don't often say that I totally nailed a shoot, but I totally nailed this shoot. While it strangely doesn't mention Ayumi Hamasaki by name, The Devil card is about addiction, bondage, and materialism. I think I've perfectly captured all three elements in this photo. Addiction is represented by the smoking cigarette, one of the most enduring symbols of addiction in this day and age. Bondage is represented by the myriad straps and buckles all over the outfit, which are similar to leathery things used in bondage gear, or so I've heard from other people, on account of my total lack of firsthand knowledge of anything even peripherally relating to that subject, and also by the high heels and leathery boots. Materialism, one of the straps reads "Chanel", as well as some sparkly bejeweled chains, which suggests that this outfit is bound by branding and material wealth.

Also it looks good and fits the theme. Boom! But y'all already knew that.

This Kamikaze method is easy when you've got models with great portfolios, like Tao, Bingbing and Zelda. I think you've nailed the picture in almost every aspect. I think it does have some quality and other technical issues, but I'd score this very highly. Good job.

I agree that you've nailed it in terms of theme connection, fashion content, and modeling content, but the image suffers from some quality issues.

AND YOU PROMISED US SOME BONDAGE!!!

Other than that, this is an image that hits a lot of points very well and you seem to already know that.

Is that Ayu?

You should never confuse new judges with commenting about Ayu in your description, GEEZ!!!   Anyway, this is spot on, Tao is a good model.
