Everyone can add 1 like mention to every image in this thread … my damned like button never works … :cussing:
Double love to the Honda Vacuum ad … it represents the fulfillment of a wonderful concept … which was what my job was … making ideas.
Foodshooter, nice "cheese pull" … food stylists are often the make it or break it aspect aren't they? For years I did the advertising for Unilever's food division and know exactly how hard you have to work to get shots like that.
Come on, keep them coming … don't forget the story behind the shot(s) if possible.
BTW, where is Guy? Guy needs to post some stuff!
One other contribution I can make is in the area of weddings and portraits for pay … not as widely seen as national ads or spreads in architectural mags or websites, but in some ways clients that are just as hard to please as a commercial client … and in the case of the occasional "Bridezilla" much worse … pay-back for being a demanding art director can be a bitch :ROTFL:
I started wedding work doing "Decisive Moment" B&W stuff more as an opportunity to study the human condition than to make money. The following images are why I kept doing this work despite the stress … all candid shots depicting a lecherous stare, eavesdropping, a baby oblivious of the solemn event, and so on. More a study in social anthropology than your typical wedding photography.
Mostly done with a Leica M camera, but the last two of the bride in a greasy spoon diner were MFD (Leica S2) … so this place was crammed with little girls having a burger with mom or dad, and in walks "Cinderella" … ya can't make up stuff like that … precious.

These were all screen grabs because I'm too lazy to hunt down the originals, so they may be a bit crispy, but you get the idea.
