Week 3 - Movement - rowandevoe & MFayre

Merle has to be one of the most prolific artists I know, and one of the most patient. We were both battling illness this week, but Merle was a sweetheart and sent me a dozen or so images to choose from. They are all gorgeous images, but I think this combination works best (an alternate version is on my Flickr stream, if you are curious). I decided to illustrate "movement" using a long exposure on the water, while Merle froze her movement. It was very interesting to see how we both interpreted this idea, and as an added bonus I had fun editing Merle-style!

Week 3 - Masks - Leilani and Lena

Over: Leilani
Under : Lena

Leilani and I discussed the landscape orientation of our images and that they would be color the rest was all a surprise and our own interpretations for "Mask"
I got her image and tried different layouts.
To do this picture I draw in my face with eye liner and played with some overlay designs.

Week 2 - Jewelry - Quizz & rowandevoe

Quizz: So this is another collaboration - the project we are taking with friends. This particular one is a mix of Merle's photo (right) and mine (left)...and the subject is "Jewelry." Isn't Merle's photo GORGEOUS?

We did not agreed on any details - this is complitely an accident that it match somehow...but I like how Merle's jewelry are "reall" and classy" while mine are mostly plastic and artificial...it creates an extra "story to it :)

Week 2 - Silhouette - Sarah Schloo & MFayre

Sarah and I were both very excited about "silhouette," but looking at our images, I think the theme was "woman in a window" and we just didn't know it.

Sarah is traveling, so she sent her image earlier this week, but due to an email snafu it ended up in my spam and I didn't actually see it until today. How exciting! Thinking about "silhouette" brought to mind women in stilettos and tight skirts, but ultimately I decided to go with something a little more subtle for this theme; looking at Sarah's image, I am glad I did.

Kudos to Sarah for shooting this without a tripod and with very little time. Hopefully she likes this pairing...I love it. Every week is so much fun, especially since I get to work with this group of amazing women. Thank you to everyone for your interest thus far!
