Announcing... The WINNERS of the 2025 theFashionSpot Awards:
Designer of the YearCongratulations to ALL of our worthy winners! Thank you to our tFS forum members who voted and participated.
It worked. Nice stuff, Andrew. Love the lighting ... creates a sensuous, but somewhat sinister mood.

Hi Andrew! Some very nice shots, I love the mood. Colors fit perfectly to the scene.

As I told you over a few weeks ago my team and I got the amazing opportunity to work and shoot Brazilian famous supermodel Henrique Hansmann and we had a blast. He was really really down to earth, so funny and since some of you were interested in seeing the results then... HERE IS THE COVER! We went for a more demure look for our July 2015 cover because we were always showing off a lot of bodies recently and I wanted to show him as a strong and fierce man on the cover. He´s wearing Zara SS15 and we also shot him for a 14 pages editorial spread which I will post on my website because it´s forbidden to do self-promotion on the forum.

Is this magazine available in print or exclusively online/on your iPad? If it's not available in print, I think the "collector's edition" headline is a bit.... misused.
Overall, I don't think the cover seems very fashion-forward and doesn't feel very July, but it's also a million times better than anything I'd come up with, I'm sure. It stays true to the "darker and stronger" vibe mentioned on the cover. He looks intense, brooding, and I like the image, I just think I might have used lighter background colors and less text. But it's not my magazine, it's yours and I think you put together some good work! Looking forward to seeing your next cover.
Thank you very very much for your input.^ I agree, the cover looks great but I prefer the brighter background and less titles. But you did a good job![]()
I like your photography
It's not over produced with retouching. And that type of side lighting without a fill light can be super effective. I think it's done really well here.
I don't even find it too dark for a summer issue. reminds me of walking on a beach on a summer night.
I think you could have cropped the image even closer too really amp up the effect. Go tight!
Hope you're not offended if I edit your work to create a couple examples.

so I cropped it but it wasn´t cropped enough for ya ahaha. For the amount of text the funny thing is that I´ve always been a defensor of less is more with the coverlines but the further we go with the shoots the more coverlines I want on the covers ahaha
