I think i would have gone down that path as it is less obvious and the possibilities endless. Such fab images from your more horror approach though.

Well done. I really went back and forth between the winner and yours. They were the only two that actually creeped me out at first glance. I ended up voting for B for the very reason you stated. I didn't find any of the models believable and therefore the one basically without a model, was the best. I didn't think any of the models looked fearful. Even your photo which was creepy and a great concept, the model looked almost serene and totally okay with the fact that she had a bizarre reflection in the mirror, as if it's a regular occurance. Anyway, great job this was fun to vote on and participate in. someday I will get to come to workshop and shoot with you. It's on my bucket list.

Why don't you throw out a GOYA challenge to blog readers? You pick a word or theme, give everyone a week or two to shoot, and then blog readers submit entries. Pick a shortlist and then get readers to vote! Doesn't have to be a prize except pride! There's been a lot of discussion about how to best shoot a concept, so why not let people put there photography where their mouth is! HEY ZACK, here’s an idea…

As a hobbyist/photographer working patiently through the "whatever job I can get for free" phase, I have been blessed with three shoots over the past 4 weeks and have noticed with each one that directing the models/subjects is definitely a skill to be developed. As far as illustrating fear goes, the commenter who wrote that it is so individual is correct. I loathe horror/gore movies. I find them boring and unrealistic. However, I refuse to watch movies about children being taken from their parents. For me, as a parent, having my children taken or hurt is the most fearful subject I could conceive of. I would probably have attempted to convey that fear. My second worst fear, however, is being buried alive, so in a pinch I might have gone with that theme. Good Job from everyone. Zach, your style gives you away. I knew you had to be A or C (compliments to photographer A there.) If I had voted I would have picked A, then C. Thanks for sharing this stuff.

Im fairly comfortable with giving direction for getting a shot that I want but I feel I could be better at it. How did you develop that aspect and how would you recommend becoming better at it other than just simply practice, practice, practice? Any tips for us? Zack,
