This editorial, entitled "The Secret Chatter of Golden Monkeys" is bright, beautiful, and fun. The clothes are very modern and bright, but instead of clashing with the traditional Chinese botanical garden they work in the environment extremely well and create a nice editorial. The production in these shots is great; the lighting is simple and the use of Photoshop seems to be limited. All three of these images just work for me. I absolutely love the movement of the red fabric in the first picture. It creates a lovely shape and draws the eye to the center of the image for the viewer to admire both the main model and the two supporting girls in the pagoda. The setting in that picture is gorgeous and the shot makes me want to visit this garden. The second photograph employs great use of color, with the purple in the hat reflecte in the flowers and the orange in the hat matching the fur of the monkeys. I'm sure it wasn't easy to capture this shot, and hopefully no feces was thrown by the animals, but the model looks strong and confident, and once again the traditional Asian scenery is combined with a modern look. That motif carries into the third image as well, and the entire scene is elegant and serene. I love how the model's hair almost resembles the fins on the top of a koy fish, and she is doing a great job of selling the shoes and jewelry. The pond is a simple but beautiful backdrop, and the angle and cropping of this photo really adds to its overall effect. This editorial is not overproduced or elaborate, just simply beautiful.
