Hasselblad H3D-39

we wanted to shood this headpiece more like a conceptual to incorporate a little story with the goal to keep it pretty dark but yet tempting and elegant (so to speak)

feel free to tell if I succeded, if you like it, if you would change something or if you have any questions about gear, lighting and so on =)

That is a good question. I am lucky to have this amazing head dress designer living not to far from where I live and I can rent or shoot her latest creations =)

Everything works here. The only thing I would want more on this images are detail on the eyes, but I'm just nitpicking there, so still 5 star for me.

An impressive photo - yes. An impressive headpiece - yes. Both exhibit a deep understanding by the individual practitioners of their craft. The sort of photo that gets me excited - no.

Don't be offended. That is just my opinion, you and others have different opinions; they are just that, different - not wrong.

What I do like however, and whether it was deliberate or not I don't know, is the (to my mind) very classical Cleopatra-like profile and make-up. Now, please DO NOT misunderstand me, I am NOT suggesting Antonia has a large nose - far from it, but the pointed eye make-up; accentuated black eyebrow; dark eyelids; almost pouting lips; high and accentuated cheeks, all evoke Cleopatra. To me it was instant. So much so I took that in before the headpiece. For me the headpiece is secondary, something to support the model, not the other way around. Have you failed - No. You've produced a great photo that tells me a different story than you may have intended.
