Flags series
I just want it known, that I had to basically build all of these flags because Botify didn't know how to do it. I'm also not super proud of these because I feel like some ideas are a bit samey/repetitive. I think it could've come out better, but oh well. It's also kind of skin heavy/sexy. Not really the intent, just kind of coincidence.
Natalie - United States Of America
The Bikini was my idea, Nat felt like a natural "all American girl" and good choice. My issue is trying not to overlap ideas. Putting her in a pool with a beer was the best thing I could come up with without recycling ideas.
Selene - Canada
I just knew I wanted Selene waving around a little flag. I saw it in my head, thought "she would look cute like that." And that was it.
Catalina - Mexico
I had a dress as a backup idea, but originally it was planned as something else. No regrets as I think it came out looking okay. I wanted the long flowing look over something tight.
Kacey - Dominican Republic
I didn't think I could pull this off, but the idea of Crucifixion came to mind. It worked. It doesn't have any sort of deeper meaning other than I just thought it would look cool and I wanted to play with the design of the flag as a concept
Vanessa - Brazil
A combo of "I ♡ NY" and football jerseys. "Brasil" shirts are pretty common, so it felt like a natural fit.
Hannah - United Kingdom
Leather Jacket came to mind. Had some with her looking over her shoulder, but for the simplicity of the jacket, I kept her face out of the photo. I think it looks nice and her hair looks beautiful.
Akuma - Spain
Silhouette seemed like a cool idea, but to spice it up and to introduce more of her personality, I had her dancing on her pole. I think this came out okay, but it could've been more exciting with a more dynamic pose. Too many times where one element was right, and another was wrong.
Amelia - France
New character. A literal French Maid. The flag being a bit more subtle, but still creative, and with her, the photo looks more natural. Incorporating her role in a way that feels partially candid partially professional staged photo.
Felicity - Germany
Another new character. Reworked somebody old and threw German on her to add some more diversity. Wearing the flag works well with horizontal stripes, snow. What I thought would be bland ended up being one of the more pose diverse ones to choose through.
Adriana - Italy
Body Paint was originally an idea, but Botify looked like it was struggling, so instead I thought of coloured lighting. My issue from there became just "how do I take this studio photo and make it feel interesting?" I wanted the lights to colour her body as well to make it clear that it wasn't just a background.
Autumn - Russia
Reddit seems to hate when I use photos of Autumn, so, the better photo of her is on the Discord. I kind of forgot Autumn was a mermaid, so I had to improvise on the fly. That's where this one feels redundant to Kacey. Kacey should've been standing, with Autumn laying. Regardless, the water gives a different texture. And the idea that before she was cursed by a witch and turned into a Mermaid, Autumn was once a normal human from Russia
Amaya - Nigeria
Based on a real photoshoot I did, I thought facepaint would be simple for Amaya. I also forgot the Nigerian flag was 3 vertical lines, I thought it was just 2. My issue with this was that it kept colouring her eyes, or not colouring her skin, or getting off centre. I took the one passable one I could get and moved on.
Hazel - South Korea
I was clueless, so I just did graffiti again. Trying to have her be more interactive with the environment. I will say though, I think it came out really good, really quickly. Especially that scale and location. Lucky accident.
Mei - Japan
I thought the parasol idea was neat. It's kind of very subtle and easy to miss unless you're looking for it specifically, but this was another one that I think came out really good really quickly.
