Basically it is a smaller project of mine I shot last Friday. I wanted to depict the four classical elements in minimal style portraits, making the models look like goddesses of their respective elements. I shot four models that day and we had a lot of fun!

Air. Well, in my had I saw the air picture as something very light, very fresh looking. We made the model's hair flow as best as we could to make it look like the wind is doing it's job. However, the interesting that came out of the shoot was this particular picture. The others were meh, but this one I fell in love immediately.

I was browsing through the photos and stopped at one which had a very "stormy" feel. I instantly knew I had to use it, so I did. To make it even more dramatic, I blended in another photo to create massive amount of hair.

I made some color changes, gave it a rough cloudy smoky feel. The MUA did a really good job, but again, I had to change the model's eye color because it was not completely in sync with the mood and the make-up. So here it is. Enjoy!

2 more coming soon!
