finally got some time to finish off my editorial project
i got distracted hence the somewhat disjointed narrative and compositing
i may have to fix the tone on the first to match the others

my original concept was urban punk glam with razor sharp aesthetics
i wanted the model to interact with the hyper real environment
but due to time and the fact i worked on it in a disjointed fashion the concept got whacked but it still reads through i hope

next one i'll make sure i finish it without getting distracted

Wendell, if you care for the opinion of a rank amateur, these are the best fashion shots you've posted here as far as I can tell. Once again, you've nailed the lighting and exposure. What's more, they really do appeal (dare I say sell), your clients will be very happy. I especially like nos. 2 and 3, they've really got rhythm.

However, over here I would have preferred technical details over credits to fashion designers. But that's just me, I don't make the rules.

In any case, I'm sure one day I will say "I've known that guy, Wendell Teodoro..."

Cheers
Steffen.

They are all great Wendell. I enjoy your style of photography. The last one really appeals to me though as i feel the location really matches the colour of the clothes. Fantastic!!!

Wendell, these are stunning. If this is what you can do when you're distracted, I look forward to the next lot.

Fantastic work Wendell!

I agree with Steve on the selection, the last one is a stand out to me. Whilst the colours are more muted, less vibrant the whole scene matches more to me, the lighting within the scene matches the lighting on the model. I think to me it looks more natural than the others.

Don't get me wrong, the others are superb, if I could only re-create a 10th of the quality you have here I'd be ecstatic!

Wow - these are great Wendell.

Really love #4 - the b/g really suits and as previously said the colours fit extremely well.

My next pick is #2 closely followed by #3 and #1.

Excellent stuff Wendell.

Cheers, Mick :) :) :)

Wendell,

You are the master! These display amazing creativity and flowless technical aspects.

Brilliant work Wendell.
I especially like the dash of colour in the first two. The bright reds contrast perfectly with the subtle tones.
Cheers

That's awesome work there Wendell. Great to see some of your newer and edgier work. Clearly up there with the current masters already ;)

Brilliant Stuff Wendell and I think the story flows through, even if there are subtel changes in style from first to last. I think I'd have to agree with Steffen that this are some of the best, if not the best fashion style photos from you.. That said I think I prefer some of the more natural images from you (overall) like you previous POTW image, but thats more a personal preference on style and genre.
Well done dude, keep it up!

Wendell - what can I say, I know - ”they are all crap!” - that’s from someone who would love to be in your shoes. Why? Because you are not just striding towards recognition as being a great photographer, you are positively galloping.

Excellent :)

Sorry Wendel, these just don't cut it. They aren't up to your usual high standard at all.


They are well beyond it! You've made the right choice in careers, these are outstanding, great lighting, tones, colours, everything about them screams 'pro at work'

Well done!! :D
