Congratulations on being in my Top 10. Firstly, what a great choice of someone to photograph, Her style is super interesting and I love her black makeup. Well done for making her the focus in such a busy place, the depth of field really helped with this. Also the Bokeh in the background is beautiful and just helps add a pop of colour to the photo. Well done.

Congratulations for such an interesting image, I love the use of the body paint and love the dramatic poses in this photograph. This was a contender for my top 10, but I just wish you hadn't cut her elbow out the image. But otherwise, amazing image well done.

Congratulations on 1st place in my competition. I love this portrait. Although the makeup is really dark and black, the setting and colours of the rest of the photograph are bright and beautiful, which creates a great contrast. I love the fade that goes up her body, making you focus more on her face. Well Done.

Congratulations for being in my top 10. I love the gritty dirty feeling to this photograph and the black makeup really works for this look. The contrast of highlights and shadows in this photograph is great and I think keeping the oval shape at the top in the photograph helps to frame the portrait. Well done.

Congratulations on 2nd place in my competition. I loved all your photographs of this girl that you entered, but I liked this one for the fact it showcases the black makeup more. I love the beautiful lighting on this, the glow in the background really adds extra beauty to this photo. Well done.

I am looking for your colour photos of black makeup. This can be on a person's face or body, or a still life image of black makeup. The makeup can have other colours included but the focus of the makeup needs to be black. Images in colour only. I look forward to seeing your photos.
