Description
The fallen angel rises...-
Photography/direction/styling: Zhang Jingna
Model: Pauline
π₯ Print:Β www.zhangjingna.com/store/redeβ¦
I designed and sewed the dress, it was shot before and not inspired by 300 the movie. There were some 20meters or so of chiffon and tulle, many hours of sewing, unpicking, resewing involved. Hope you enjoy. <3
More of this dress in the Forgotten Fairytales series:

It seems like there is wind blowing up from the ground. The girl is looking up to the sky, eyes closed, seeking for redemption as she faces the sky, searching the clouds for a hope, for a light, for a god. All she wants is to be free. and the wind blew around her, kindda like a sign from the god or the powers above, that she soon will get her hope/release. But the worldly troubles (the cloth) is holding her down. It's very beautiful, and so much depth. and the dress is really nice e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s⦠" width="15" height="15" alt="

I love how the background darkens towards the edges; it gives the impression that the model is emitting light. The picture holds allot of emotion and atmosphere, and the dark hair contrasts well against the ivory clothing.
The picture has an almost dreamlike quality about it, it is blurred a little and the clothes seem to blend into the background.
She seems to be falling, but gently so, as her eyes are closed but she is holding some of her clothes as if to stop herself from falling. The blurred hair and clothes billowing around her add to this effect.
It is a very pure picture, and caught my eye.
Overall, very elegant shot, well done. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b⦠" width="15" height="15" alt="

This photo almost looks black and white. Her expression and pose is beautiful and her dress looks lovely. The background is plain so that it doesn't take away from the image itself. The flow of the hair and fabric makes it look as if it is moving in the photo itself. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s⦠" width="15" height="15" alt="

Good job! You're definitely a fair critic.

Its okay. Its a common misconception with me xD

I'll try to give you a fresh take, but there are a lot of comments and critiques.
First minor problems, the model looks a bit bloated, however this is what she's wearing and the way she's posed. Unlike some, I find the almost blurred aspect of the piece elegant and charming, it give's it a softness and the model's hair is very capturing.
She really looks like a fallen angel, and the white material floating around her adds to the illusion of falling.
Overall the piece is quite good, and the feeling that it gives is very powerful and stunning.

thats a tunnel vision perspective! Look around every once and a while it'll do you some good.

Ok. I gave my opinion, whatever.
π: 0 β©: 0
what, just because she doesn't have a flat stomach, it's bad?
You bitch.
π: 0 β©: 1
No. I am an overweight person myself, I was just saying that the way that the model is posed doesn't elongate her the way that it could, and that's mostly fault of the clothing. I'm sure she has a very flat stomach and she's a beautiful woman, but it's just the way that's she posed giving her the effect of being bloated.
Now as for the "you bitch" part, there was no need for that, I gave a critique that the artist marked as fair, so what is the point of calling me a bitch?

Why does someone need to have a flat stomach to be beautiful? Stop being an asshole.
π: 0 β©: 1
I did not say she needed to have a flat stomach to be beautiful, I didn't say anything like that. I just said that the model looked bloated and that probably wasn't the artists intention... I didn't say she was any less beautiful because she didn't have a "flat" stomach.

Then you shouldn't have judged her on it.
π: 0 β©: 1
I will say this once and once only, I never judged the model, I judged the photo and judged the pose. I DID NOT JUDGE THE MODEL. But I'm done. So have a nice freaking day.

Simply gorgeous.
I'll try to say what other's haven't- but then, this piece has a lot to say about it. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s⦠" width="15" height="15" alt="
The softness of this picture is amazing. I love the flowing hair, the flowing materials...
The effect of her rising up into the light is amazing, and definitely fits the title. I love, though, how her hair and extensions of her dress seem to be falling, just like she was started to be 'redeemed' after a long fall into darkness... e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s⦠" width="15" height="15" alt="
Your model is perfect. She's totally bought into the picture- her tilted post, her face pointed upwards, as if expectantly waiting to be completely rid of this darkness... beautiful. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s⦠" width="15" height="15" alt="
Your use of vignetting is great. Without any sort of set, you're able to capture that she truly is arising out of darkness surrounding her, and perhaps even carries some of the light.
Gorgeous, beautiful job. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s⦠" width="15" height="15" alt="

When I saw this picture, I thought: wow!. it is perfect. You've really got the feel of the picture. It's almost as real as you are there and can take in the silk, which she is in.
you've also got the right light and colors in the image. Well done.
I love how her years fly up like that. And it almost looks like smoke (silk, which she keeps in some locations) and it makes the picture even more special.
The hand of the image is very important. It may be the car to feel alive and ah no sense.
The picture is absolutely perfect in my opinion. So you get full marks from me. Very clever.

Wow, I like how the pose seems to go with the word "redemption" as it certainly looks like they're asking for forgiveness from some towering presence, as the upwinds would suggest.
I like how her eyes are closed and the slightly open mouth give the feel that something is perhaps emerging from her, or perhaps being absorbed. Also, the dress is very well designed and I like how the whole picture is basically one color scheme. Everything comes together quite nicely.
Overall, it is an outstanding piece and I'm sure you must be very proud of what you have accomplished here.

This picture at first glance reaches into the depths of your soul. The emotional intent is easily conveyed by the models pose and expression. The white dress easily transcends "Redemption" in to another realm altogether.
This photo easily makes you think where am I going now that I have been freed. As though she has risen and now reaching for what the world has to give her. As if she is reaching out to take your hand, to lead the way to where you are going. One certainly looking at this photo would not feel lost, but inspired to go for something better. To reach and be freed. Completely Amazing!

This is simply amazing and very original! The title βRedemptionβ suits the picture perfectly wherein by theological means, redemption is an element of salvation that broadly tells the deliverance from sin and freedom from captivity. In my own opinion on how I see the picture it is very clear that the expression is pure and the model transcends dramatically to a dimension that is serene and holy. The hair compliments the dress, itβs like gravity acting on an opposite direction and the hand gestures together with eyes closed is like contemplating a prayer from the heart and soul. What a brilliant mind Ms. Zhang Jingna. You inspire me e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bβ¦ " width="15" height="15" alt="

Very nice piece.
The Vision you had is right up there with the big Hollywood movies that people flock to see. The dress is well, nice color, andyou can tell what type of fabric it is the way it sales upward in a rush. It looks as if you're being possessed, summoning something, or your spirit is leaving your body. The ways your eyes are shut on your posture gives the sense as though you are lost in thought or you are not hear at all, (if that were the image you were trying to achieve). The originality isn't a very high for me but its up there. I don't have a "I see that all the time" feel, but I get a "Yeah, I've seen that before feel". Though it kinda crosses between model photo and movie shot. The technique is excellent. The way that the cloth, our hair hands eyes, and over all feel of your body and pic gives is awe inspiring. It just blows me away. I'm telling you, it takes me into where ever your going. It makes me wonder, "Where am I headed"? That alone just flows right into the impact of the whole pic. The pic looks like your were taking photos at a model shoot when suddenly an alien was abducting you right into a "from photo to movie" type of feel. I'm telling you! Superb photo!

Wow What a beautiful image this is. There's a great sense of motion in this picture, But still it looks peaceful. The Lighting is done absolute perfect. Soft Shadows, Nice highlights. The expression on her face speaks for itself. It must have been an intense feeling she felte.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s⦠" width="15" height="15" alt="

I love this, its absolutely gorgeous. For me, I love the way her black hair clashes with the white material and grey backgroup. Fantastic shot as usual. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s⦠" width="15" height="15" alt="

First thoughts when this image was seen, "Wow, there is a lot to this image."
Starting with the lighting: Very nicely done, the lighting provides the viewer with soft highlight, shadows, and tones for a very pleasing result to the viewer.
The soft lighting and qualities of light in this image, it sets the stage for the mood. Soft and unique.
Composition: Following several "Rules" of photography, This image has an exceptional composition from the point of view, curves, leading lines etc. It is a very well thought out image.
Th combination of the all the elements involved and mentioned so far leave the viewer with a very soft, action filled image, (harder to accomplish, normally it is one or the other, but this one has both, not only both, but finely done on both.)
The blending of the action into the still reinforces the mood and softness of this image, the way the hair blends into the white cloth and the cloth and curves bend back to the subject, it is like a ballet for the eyes.
This is an amazing image.,
Keep up the amazing work.

A brillient shot!
I love how this shot has a light and dark feel to it, the shaded edges give it aa nice touch to. The idea was fairly original and i have not seen any other deviation that has taken this angle. I like how she is holding her hands out which makes her look like she's falling but still seems peacefull. I think it would have looked better if the hands looked more defined as they are slightly blury, also i think it would have looked nice in a full body picture with the girl leaning back while on her toes but this shot still has a good feel to it. I like the colour pallet, how the greys and whites stand out nicely against the white - dark edged background. Having the eyes closed was a good idea but i think it would look just as good with the eyes wide open with shock, over all i have no major problem with this peice and think that all of these favourites are well deserved.

Simply great!
I like the soft light that seem to give the model a glow, combined with the motion blur in the hair, it gives a very soft feel altogether. The diagonal composition from the corner fits the motion of her har perfectly, and is crossed by the angle in her arm. I am also a big fan of the colorchoice, the desaturated, almost black and white feel add to the soft mood of the picture.
The only negative point I can add is that her face feels too obscured by her hair, in combination with the lighting that blows out parts of her cheek and nose.
A minor detail, that doesn't affect the overall feel in the photo, which is magnificent.

WARNING! Carry on reading! Or you will die, even if you only looked at the word warning!
Once there was a little girl called Clarissa, she was ten-years-old and she lived in a mental
hospital, because she killed her mom and her dad. She got so bad she went to kill all the
staff in the hospital so the More-government decided that best idea was to get rid of her so
they set up a special room to kill her, as humane as possible but it went wrong the
machine they were using went wrong. And she sat there in agony for hours until she died.
Now every week on the day of her death she returns to the person that reads this letter, on
a Monday night at 12:00 a.m. She creeps into your room and kills you slowly, by cutting you
and watching you bleed to death. Now send this to ten other pictures on this one site, and
she will haunt someone else who doesn't. This isn't fake. apparently, if you copy and paste
this to ten comments in the next ten minutes you will have the best day of your life tomorrow.You
will either get kissed or asked out, if you break this chain u will see a little dead girl in your room.
