Photoshoot #6 - East VS. West

[Makoto Kino]

WESTERN WIND - MAKOTO

You liked this before. So hopefully you like it here. The element wind is fully captured here. You can see it blowing her hair, bow, and the petals. Also, it's stormy. The western essence is captured through the amount of skin showing. Eastern is very traditional. This has a little more skimpiness to it.

Eastern Fire - Katie

Okay so this is what I found in 5 minutes :/. But! I think it will work. It's a picture of her whole body, just not of a face shot. The candles and fire bring in the element of fire ha. Also, she looks like she's holding back some tension or a crazy thought, both elements of a fiery person. The eastern elements comes in with the old time feel of the photograph, and the old lacy dress. Eastern may be considered 'older' than western.

(I know the picture should be larger :/)

Morgan:
Makoto - Ahh a return of a good photo used in a different way, and I like this execution. This photo has a great connection to wind with the swirling leaves, powerful elements that the wind is stirring up and you caught up in the environment. I like the way you look so shy and yet so graceful with your body and modelling.

Katie - First off this photo does need to be bigger. I like the modelling in this photo, your stance is strong and reveals a lot of emotion and your description illustrates well what this emotion could be labelled as. The fire lit candles in the background look like more of a prop and afterthought than representing the element of fire. This photo is okay but doesnt have the same impact as Makoto's does.

Janice: It's a shame you couldn't get a hold of Wood, because Sailor Jupiter is the soldier of wood after all. But your representation of Air is beautiful. There are a lot of things that are associated with the air, such as the weather, and that's where the lightning comes in. The face is also great, it's a sexy over the shoulder gaze.

A very quick google search using the image URL could have found you a bigger image in seconds. To your advantage, the small image size makes it look like the eyes are closed at first glance, which is good, but on closer inspection, the eyes are dull and lifeless. The photo's stance and ambiance are powerful, but it is brought down by the face, and the size.

Makoto: I think this is great! While normally I like to see face, this photo works really well. The air element is clear, and I see a model here. Great job!

Katie: Bigger plz. This is definitely brought down by size, and because it's small, darkness as well. It's sort of hard to make out parts of the photo. The fire element is there, and I like the candle interpretation. I also see a model (when I look closely). Overall it's not a bad job, but if it were bigger it'd be a lot better!
