This guitarist is in a band I do photography for. After 17 years with Yamaha, he switched brands of guitars to this new company Grem. I knew they are a new company and may need some new promo. I took some great shots and edited this with the company in mind. what do you think? Which looks better? Doug Raflik wxnut@charter.net
I like the overall scene. For a promo the second might be better with no distracting spotlights, just the highlighted guitar. All in all, though, I am not sure I am so fond of the selective colouring. I know you did it with the company in mind and a possible promo shot, but ... yes, it works in the second, but I find it distracting in the first. Can we see the original or an all b+w version, too?
I prefer the 1st one... dunno why but it looks much more natural for me... also, I'd try to make a whole picture in black and white...
Personally, I think the first one with the lights gives it much more of a naturalistic look showing you their product is used by professionals. That's just me though. I think it would look better as an advertisement. The color of the guitar already centers itself out as the purpose of the advertisement. Great pics by the way...
