Photoshoot 1: Persona

[Taylor Swift]

Daring Dreamer



This was very hard for me to make a decision on, because I feel like this shoot isn't just about finding a fancy nickname or moniker, and it isn't about branding or picking something to fit a single photo for a single shoot. To me this shoot is about looking back at the last game and understanding what parts of our personalities shined through the makeup and fancy wardrobes.

I chose "daring dreamer" because I feel like all of my shoots were based on something a little more fantastic than the norm and a little lighter and airier. A lot of what I posted were riskier and outside of the norm, but I went with what felt right.

I think this image fits that because while it is basic, and calm, it has a light to it, and it shows me moving forward to new ideas and a new cycle, while still feeling dreamy and enchanted.

[Émilie Simon]

Emilie: I think you are one of the few girls to hit your persona and the only girl to really get the meaning of "persona".

As for your photo, I love it. It looks like you're day dreaming, but at the same time, you're keeping your intensity, and even though it's a profile, you're keeping the model. It's soft, it's beautiful, it's enchanted and dream-like. I can see hope in your eyes, and I think that hope might just be founded.

Amanda:
This is it, the best for last
My, time sure flew by fast
You know what you are doing
For you, there's no booing

A persona this is
And it works quite well
You're still a model
And you'll give them hell

I don't like headbands
But that's just me
Everything here works
And you're home free

[Yoona Im]

Yoona: Taylor, This is wow for me. I didn't expect this at all and here you come with this photo. I love your Persona. Really love actually. You are one of the Winners and you really set the bar for the First Photoshoot.

[Emma Watson]

Emma: This is excellent. The whole photo matches the persona perfectly, and the outfit complements it very well. Great work!
