Everything about this editorial works for me. I love the photographer's use of different angles and perspectives in every shot, giving the same setting a different life in every image. The use of the prop is genius, and proves something as simple as a boat can be turned into several gorgeous backdrops. The staging in the first and second images is the same, and yet the two images are stunning and strong in their own ways. The blue background makes it seem as though the young girl is floating out at sea, surrounded by bright pops of color in the first photograph. The model's pose is amazing, and all the different props come together on the boat to create a great composition. Then, the photographer zooms in for the second image so the viewer can really appreciate the color and character of the props. The dress almost fades in with the other items on the boat, but once again I love the model's pose and this picture is very striking. Virgin Mary seems to be the inspiration for the third image, and it looks like it could be on one of those $1 Mexican prayer candles. I love the composition of this picture, and the lights add a really nice touch. It's the same boat, but used in a starkly different way, which is genius. And finally, the last image is just serene, soft, and sweet. The candles draped by a sheer cloth make great lighting, and I appreciate the photographer's choice to make this shot closer and more intimate. It's hard to even tell at this point that the model is standing on a boat. The creativity and innovation throughout this entire spread is fantastic and I love the images this shoot produced.
