'Sweet Pastel' is a recent series by photographer Joanna Kustra that, as its name suggests, is inspired by the soft, luscious colors of pastel paint and delectable pastries.
Believe or not, Joanna Kustra is a self-taught photographer. When she was first learning her craft, she was most interested in portraits and people; this soon progressed naturally into fashion photography. Living in one of the world's premier fashion destinations -- London -- Kustra has had much experience in this field.
Others deserve praise for their work on 'Sweet Pastel' as well. Fashion stylist Sharpay Tang did an excellent job at adorning the lovely Liza Serepova (Premier Model Managament) in elegant, flattering couture. Kazuto Shimorura's hair styling is top notch while the make up by Kate O'Reilly is superbly well done.
