Portrait Contest Week 4: Celka

This is from a shoot at the Midwest Technical Institute in Springfield, MO. We collaborated with Cindy Rhoads, a cosmetology instructor at the school, to let her students experiment with hair and makeup.

Celka modeled this emotional shot, inspired by one of Cindy's favorite paintings.

Like I always say, I don't compete in the #portraitcontest because @jasonrussell is my husband. But I always like to boost participation and see what everyone has to offer! Show us those portraits, Steemit!!!!
