 As I'm on my phone right now and extremely busy marathoning X-Files dvd boxset with my father, I can't really get into this as deeply as I'd like. Well, I could, but there's a 100+ year old guy who crawls through small cracks in the walls and stuff and that is catching my interest. Anyway, I was mainly between several shots in this series of shoots, but in the end this is the selection I felt I liked the most. The styling of the hair and the makeup are all very stylish and fashionable, but their purpose is to add to the composition of the image as a whole, to play with the light and color and create a beautiful piece. I do feel like this is a bit of a risk (and because of that i'll be using my +1 point thing, thanks!), because i'm not sure the "art" value of this will be readily visible, but its about the play of the light through the piece and the composition of the yellow of the hair sweeping accross the image. I think its a gorgeous piece, so risk or not I'm submitting it anyway. |

Amanda: The artistic value is in the light here - and for once, you didn't do it in Photoshop, given that little logo in the corner. You ALWAYS take those out and you didn't get to this time, which makes me bummed. Regardless, this is a gorgeous shot, but at the same time, the theme is fashion as art - I don't see the fashion here. Fashion is about the clothes, the makeup, the hair, and how all of those components work together. I don't see the clothes, and I don't see a harmonious song of elements here. I see your face illuminated by the light. It's artistic, yes, but it isn't focused on the fashion - I take most notice of your hair and that little logo. I like it, but don't love it.
Regardless, you're Taylor freaking Swift and you're definitely safe no matter what. So what I say hardly matters xD

Émilie:I like it, but at the same time, I don't. I see the art, definitely, but the fashion, not so much. The fact your face is almost completely covered by your hair really detracts from the overall modelling aspect of the photo, and you sort of look washed out. I like it, but I don't. So I'm neutral

Yoona: I like it. This is different and when I said I want something that shock us, this is exactly what I talked about. I love the fact that this time you gave us the ugly-pretty thing. Love the concept.
