CV Features: People and Portraits

STelari's selections:

Jocelyn by caltar
I adore the composition, the balance between the intricate patterns on the fan and the chair with the smooth skin and the background. The contrast's quite lovely, too.


candle by Avine
It's eerie and simply captivating. There are of course the candles, but the model herself (what an expression!) looks like made of fine wax, beautifully thought.


past by FleurDelacour
This one's been a personal favourite of mine for a long time now. I love everything about it - the lightning, the pose, the colours, the folds, the composition... it all looks like an exquisite old painting.


In the Fog by zhangahuei
There's a heavy load of emotions in this one. It all speaks in slow motion, things settling down - but not in a calming manner, more like fading or dying. It's mesmerising.

morbidman187's selections:

My little familly by ilford75
A great use of lighting and the capture of detail in each face.


*** by Tarasov
Wonderfully captures the expression on her face and the feelings of a moment.


water fairy by baravavrova
Is a beautiful fluid piece.

Nyx-Valentine's selections:

Born by MartaSyrko
There's something haunting and dreamlike about this image that really intrigues me.


No Plans To Leave by scottjamesprebble
Scott's work, as a photographer, and a model on occasion, has always captured this....elusive quality for me, where I feel like he, and his subjects, are always on the verge of escaping.


Arching by innerlightphoto
I love the sculptural, abstract quality of this utterly human work.


Love YourSelf by Dan-Heffer
I have a weakness for "captured" moments of humanity, and this shot illustrates the concept in a really gorgeous, but accessible way.


Bondage Cube by Roswell-Ivory
I love the strong mechanical lines of the cube in contrast to her flowing curves suspended in the middle.

Agaave's selections:

Helena - The Sorrowful Naiad II by KatiaInsomnia is a beautiful shot in complementary colors. It captures mystical atmosphere beautifully with model's dreamy expression and silent surface of the lake.


We don't speak human by ZawArt displays wonderful costumes and gorgeous colors. The stare of the lady is piercing and fits perfectly with the primitive concept!


Elf Riding On A Horse by ann-emerald is a magical capture all the way from the braided mane of the horse to the model's outstanding outfit and determined expression.

Lyricanna's selections:

Cardinale by Emmatyan has a great contrast of textures; the environment is hard, solid and a little rough while the model is very soft looking.


SCIV Siegfried - Final Judgement by AmenoKitarou really captures this character well. I love that the lighting captures the transparent, crystaline aspects of the armour.


Maedchen by derJake has fantastic atmosphere and vivid colours.


Ophelia II by impureacts is gritty and dark. There is no attempt here to beautify death and that's what makes this all the more striking.


Secret of the night by Ophelia-Overdose has stunning composition and dramatic lighting.

Mrs-Durden's selections:

REFLECTION by RavenaJuly is a superbly styled fashion portrait rich in detail color and texture.


... by absentii is a soft, sweet, gentle, enchanting and soothing portrait. Beautifully composed and executed.


Portrait of Julia by apalkin is the epitome of classic portraiture. Simple, yet absolutely stunning.


Untitled by huhahohi is an evocative and emotional portrait with a grim yet beautiful side to it.


Marcin by fairyladyphotography is a sweet capture with beautiful tones and lighting.
