I was first drawn to this image through the lighting effects from above. It "appears" to be coming from the open window above, but it is much more from above as you can see behind the businessman the circular edge of the light. At first research I found it was a priest, but this is just a businessman, who has probably sunk so low to end up in such a place. The composition is clean.

For starters I first noticed the lamp shade due to its contrasted model. Then the model. I love the lighting and texture on the model's shoulder, which leads the eye to the image of the AMEX card. This photo is obviously targeted to the Japanese market, (due to the text) but for marketing, this photograph can slot into any country. I think visually it has that extra quirk to it that is intriguing and something i haven't seen before. Perhaps there was a special promotion with AMEX, and the light lamp was objectifying that it was a "brilliant idea" a "lightbulb moment".

The texture of this photograph is what caught my attention. It has a raw edge and emotion running through the image. it has a natural mood towards it. Although this photograph has been post produced, (through "halo" effect) i like the edgy lighting which is softly exposed. The model is peaking through the shadow, which is exposed with low intensity, but increased lighting on the hair.

I Love the lighting of this photograph. It's Post Production creates a beautiful tie between, dress, sky and sea. The Colours of all 3 are incorporated in the dress. The texture seen on the dress through some direct lighting, is as though the elements around the model are feeding off the rich earth and the sea. the "halo" seen on the model is a little annoying, however i feel that the composition, the lighting and the surroundings suffice for minor increments that can be altered. ( or rather, should not have been altered so harshly).

I like the overall effect on the model in this photograph. However, with a little less directional lighting, the realness of the skin textures and exposure would be more accurate. I like how the model's facial features are distinguished, the eyes and the lips. Compositionally this is quite nice using the full frame.

DISLIKE

I cannot stand the lighting in this photograph. The background is what draws my attention first in connection with the extremely blue and cold colour cast. The model's pose is quite different, to that what suits a quite glamourous dress.

I am not impressed with the lighting of this photograph. It has a green/yellow colour tinge which is not appealing to my eye. At first i liked the pose, however, the hand is playing on my mind. The model's hand is not in proportion to the face. The hand looks twice as big as normal as it is in front of the face, perhaps she was about to reach for something.

This photographs has a couple of things i dislike. Firstly, for a fashion shoot, the photographer or stylist should have made sure that the dress was IRONED! the lighting is effective, however too much drop off. The pose is awkward to be advertising scarves. it appears she is drying herself with it.

This photograph is obviously post-produced. There are obvious "burning in" around the feet and legs. There is way too much colour saturation for my liking. The skin looks unnatural, and the pose is insinuative. The exposure is harsh and flat, loosing too much detail under the hood of the car.
