Elegantly waiting for a bus, or posing in the midst of the busy traffic? We don’t know, but it’s the mix of elegant beauty and the city that makes it special. There is something about this photograph that keep us interested. Well done.

Photographers Comment

Hello, I am Andrew Paquette from the Netherlands. Thanks for the Mark of Excellence! I shot this image with a Phase One DF+ and an IQ250 back with a Schneider-Kreuznach 80 mm LS lens. For lighting, I rented two Broncolor strobes. The RAW image file was edited in Capture One Pro v. 9. This image is one of about 20 fashion shots I took in and around Bangkok, Thailand as my first serious attempt at making portfolio-worthy images as a photographer. It was taken under the Rama IX bridge in Bangkok at about five in the morning with a slow shutter speed (1/4s) to capture the motion of the cars.
