This image is one of my favourite portraits you've done. The model is a lovely lady who captures the facial features and flawless fair skin of the glamour era in movie making history. The lighting maximizes the models' subtle, sophisticated makeup and the delicate shadows that accentuate her form. The choices of backdrop and accessories further compliment the overall effect and mood in that delightfully retro way. This is a wonderful reminder of how subtlety and understated elements can create a dramatic impact in the right combination. The only constructive criticism I could offer would be regarding the perceived void space above the models head. Perhaps a subtle crop might bring the model more to the centre of the image to offer a more intimate seeming portrait?
