This picture is my final photo from my test shots. I put all three of them together because i had a lot of shots that I liked from this photo shoot. I photoshopped this picture to make it more on the dark gloomy background and having the dress also dark but stand out from its surroundings. I put them in the order the way i did because at first she's in that awkward position not looking at the camera, then i had her look at the camera with a semi awkward position, then last having her in a normal model pose but with her head turned away but full body of what the dress looks like. So basically its from barely seeing the dress to seeing all of the shapes and textures of it .

The point of making this picture is to have the main focus on the dress, having her set up in different angles to make the focal point mainly on the skirt's color and its texture and also the background. I messed with the colors in photoshop and made the background darker than the model & dress itself. I lightened up her skin to remove the yellowness of her body. I think that this picture is somewhat successful because my main point is to advertise and attract simple dresses that i make which made it work.
