Quite raw!!...but neat shot..

Good balance the two styles raw and clean. I would say your models would need some quiet time going from high gloss mag shoot to this refined but dark idea. As always very fab.

Like the high contrast & heavy makeup & is it me or does her eye color match the raw wall behind ? The smeared lipstick almost adds a sense of violence to this image . Would love to see this in B&W ?

not bad ... nice effect ^_^

The paleness of her skin makes everything else work so well.

smear kinda comes out of nowehere

I really like this one. I have an infatuation with red lipstick (the redder, the better), and this shot makes me drool a little bit

I've seen a lot of photographers on DA get a lot of cred but their photos are, in my opinion, boring and predictable--like they've been done before a million times. I won't name names, but the more deviations you post the more I like your shots and I think it's very obvious that you TRY to do something unique and original, and I wish there were more photographers like you on DA. This one in particular is very simple, but still completely original, and I really like it, particularly the background and, of course, the lipstick
