Portrait Contest Week 4: Celka

This is from a shoot at the Midwest Technical Institute in Springfield, MO. We collaborated with Cindy Rhoads, a cosmetology instructor at the school, to let her students experiment with hair and makeup.

Celka modeled this emotional shot, inspired by one of Cindy's favorite paintings.

Like I always say, I don't compete in the #portraitcontest because @jasonrussell is my husband. But I always like to boost participation and see what everyone has to offer! Show us those portraits, Steemit!!!!

Very nice Melody, love the front lighting and hazy patterns the smoke creates in the photograph.

Thank you @Steempowerpics! I think we may have been running a fog machine. Do you remember @jasonrussell?

It looks very natural, like the light silvery smoke from burning wood. Very nice effect.

Wow, she is stunning, and this is a gorgeous shot. I love the smoke/haze.

Thank you @offbeatbroad! Celka is an excellent model and so easy to work with!

That is an excellent portrait @melodyrussell. Upvoted, resteemed & DPS.

Yunking this post :D Wow wonderful I love the composition and the colors it bring a feeling of sorrow and a baroque art. Wonderful.

Checked it out and followed! Have you made any entries in @jasonrussell's #portaitcontest yet???

No not yet but I will have to upload something there :) Thanks for letting me know I've only been on here for about two weeks now :D

Do it!!! Even if you don't win the contest, it still gets your photography out there!

Already done :) I love taking portraits but I'll try and not flood the contest with photos of my wife :) Cheers!
