What sort of input are you inviting? I thought critique (positive or negative) was only allowed in the critique forum.

Positive feedback is certainly welcome. And notice the remarks that we included with each photo, comments along those lines are fine.

The dramatic low-key lighting sculpts the model’s face beautifully, and the intense eye contact gives it editorial power.

Lovely soft, diffused daylight wraps around the model’s face, enhancing her natural features.

Bold use of a single light source from the side creates deep, dramatic shadows that add mystery and volume.

Fun, dynamic composition with the subject in motion. The natural lighting keeps it airy and spontaneous.

Hi all! My name is Cate, and I am the model from the photo in the angel themed shoot featured in this week's highlights! I wanted to quickly touch upon the interesting set-up that created this interesting look. I was laying on my back on an ~20" box covered draped in a black fabric, and the photographer instructed me to flap the wings up and down as I lifted my neck up. This took quite a bit of strength and patience on my part, but the soft lighting exposure really helped translate a very ethereal, fantasy vibe we were both super pleased with! Thanks to the mods for featuring my photo!

One of many great shots in one of the better curated portfolios I have had the pleasure of viewing on MM.
