These photographs pay such great homage to the beautiful oil paintings of the Baroque period they resemble paintings themselves. The colors are rich and lavish, the settings ornate and gorgeous, and the details and props are exquisite. There is so much to visually take in in each photo I ended up staring at each one individually for quite a while. The photo editing and effects play a huge role here, as the images look virtually perfect, but the photographer also did a great job with staging and evoking real feelings from the models. I adore everything about the second photo. The crop, the diverse colors in the butterflies and flowers, and the detailing on the clothing is highlighted to create a truly stunning photograph. The first image is very romantic and charming, as the pops of yellow in the chicks are bright and happy, even though the model seems distant. My other favorite is the third photo; I love the use of color and the pose of the model. I feel like I could find this hanging in any fine art museum and it would fit right in with every other painting. It is so much more than an editorial image. The model in the fourth photo has a very unique look, which adds to the quirk and beauty of the spread, and I love her pose and her interaction with the set. Finally, I love the last photo because of the set. The inclusion of the painted eye peeking out from the curtain is perfect. It's a small detail, but it adds so much to an image that could easily have fallen flat. This is such an amazing shoot that produced not just photos, but true art.
