Hey everyone, this is my first post on the site but I hope it will be a memorable one. I am a photography major at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh and am currently in my Senior year of college. I have recently finished a short photographic series inspired by Invisible Monsters and it's narrator Shannon McFarland. I would love some feedback from those who have read the novel and can appreciate it at a deeper level.

They look good but I was expecting it to be about more images from the book than just the veil. What about the birds or frozen turkey or falling postcards or medicine cabinets?

I definitely understand where youre coming from. This was meant to be more of a mock fashion shoot as if the character were to still be modeling post-accident.

I think the picture with ithe sunglesses is great. That being said... Do you think that the character would have modelled after her "accident"?

I like the third and last one the best. The third one is pretty spectacular and looks like a professional shot. The composition in the last one is really good too but the model seems a little too stiff. I think the model (I hope I'm not insulting a friend of yours!) is the problem with the shots, she doesn't communicate anything dynamic.

It's most evocative of IM for me when she's holding the scarf to her face. I know Shannon didn't run holding a scarf up all the time, but to me the intention of hiding her face is conveyed by holding the scarf.

I liked your set a lot and I hope you got an excellent grade.
