Two out of three

Excellence is not easy to imitate or to improvise, on the contrary it is something that results after the applications of many factors under the right direction in order to produce an outstanding result like the one we see to the right.

What an amazing production, perfect sense of color management, the overall style does not get better, elegance goes hand in hand with a tasteful combination of modernism and conservative chic to say the least. What is not to like when you get all these elements in perfect harmony. The models are experienced and so is the production crew, no doubt about it. I am impressed by the quality of the picture, even though it has been shot in large format and out doors illumination, the results are stunning even though conditions were up to the challenge.

The second exhibit is also a production for Burberry's but it doesn't not carry the wow factor. You will be able to draw your own conclusions after carefully observing the following picture to right:

 Many people have declared themselves fascinated by this ad except me and a few others, basically because of my initial clam of a inappropriate mixture of elements such as the ragged paper bordering, the selective color and the composition of the picture. If I were the director I wouldn't approve the models expression of joy and elation because they don't sell togetherness. The man laughs at point A and the woman flashes a smile to point B, clearly denoting a gap in bonding. They are so close and yet so far. Take your side but remember I am right, my take is based in experience and intuition that comes

from actual photo shoots (not for Burberry yet) but for designers with a close hierarchy on the swimsuit arena.
Look at the picture again and tell me that the insets are necessary? no, they are not, it should ave been a single theme shot with the product as a signature.

My next issue will discuss more elements of fashion photography that are subject to analysis and discussion and can be used as a cross reference for photographer and models alike.

Summertime is just around the corner and we will be witnesses of a new raid of designs that are going to keep conservative legions please for a few years to come; more is more this time.


Until the next issue, all the best.
