To today's feedback session I took in the following above images.
I wanted to show both a portrait and a landscape image, as the dreamcatcher and net canopy are shown more within the portrait image, yet I am drawn to the landscape and wanted to get feedback and other opinions.
As I had anticipated, the majority of the group favoured my landscape image. This was due to the positioning of the net, my pose and the general composition. I agree that I feel it is a much better image.
I was surprised to find what effect my choice to hide my face had upon peer members view of the images. One member said that it added mystery, as I had aimed to do, however she said it gave the image a much darker atmosphere than I had wanted. My work in the past has held quite dark undertones and it is interesting that even when attempting bridal fashion, my work can come across as slightly morbid!
However, I think that when in the right context, the use of hiding the face doesn't give such a bad impression. As I mentioned, there is a feeling of mystery, however, rather

I eventually chose this as my final image, as I feel it was overall the best from the shoot. The composition brings the eye towards the skirt as the main subject matter, with the rabbit and flowers as background extras, where some of the other images focused more on the rabbit. The lighting of this image is closest to what I was trying to achieve, with natural light coming in from the left side, the net canopy being draped over the left side of the bed accentuates this natural light.
