Description
Recently I did a series of photo-shoots for Wm Armstrong and Sons Vintage Clothing Emporium, Edinburgh. They were looking for promo shots for magazines etc. This is one from the first shoot - "Dandy" was the theme.Model: Ian

The photo is fair, but barely keeps with theme, and mostly superficially.
Its background is far too busy - instead of making the bright colours jump out, it causes them to be absorbed. Better use of lighting may have helped bring the subject forward. (The white in the wallpaper is reflecting the red too much.)
As for composition, the large amount of empty space to the top and viewer's left makes the other sides seem badly cut off. If the idea of "emerging" from one side of the photo was the intention, it could be better executed.
Costumes and props, upon close inspection, appear haphazardly chosen.
However, overall, from a noncritical view, I do like the picture, and its a good attempt. Being as this came out over a year ago, I wonder how was it received?

Unfortunatly the costumes and set where not chosen by me...I was just taking the pictures. The costumes where put together by fashion design students, as the images where for a shop which sells vintage clothes, so again you'd have to take the attire up with them.
The picture isn't very well taken, it could be worked with in Photoshop which was the intention, but I have never got around to it. This image hasn't been used (well at least I hope it hasn't) but they have used another image of mine for the front page of their website and some promo' material, so it didn't work out too bad.
I didn't really have the control over the shoot I would have prefered, and I tend to be a purist about photography these days and not edit them, which is why I haven't fiddled with any of these as yet.
Thanks for your two-pence-worth though, but these shoots arn't really an example of what I do, they where fun though.
