asked to take some staged shots for thing singer/songwriter fellow, wanted an ‘urban’ ‘dirty’ sort of feel, and C & C loiked danka. i’m considering black and white for first to compensate for shoddy wb
I’m not mad about the first two, they’re a bit stiff and the skin tones are a little off. The fourth is really nice, good idea. The third one though is really great, cool, realxed and well exposed. You really got the urban feel you were after in that one. Do you mind me asking where the third one was taken?
3rd and 4th shots are the ones that elicit an immediate response from me… Two great shots. First one needs a bit of a crop, IMO, and his blown out hand is hugely distracting in the 2nd one (unless his hand is really that pale? :))
This guy looks familiar… I think the fourth probably has the most potential as a location, although the composition is spot on, you’d want a fairly big poster to be able to make him out. f you can get away with it, and the image is sharp, i’d crop alot tighter. Out of the four i’d pick #3, good composition, relaxed pose. I’ve no doubt he’ll be more than happy with these.
