I was just recently commissioned for a campaign and shot about 1000 images to capture final image for this well known sports company. In the end, it came down to the two images above. As is usually the case, the final image is tough to choose, with lots of factors under consideration, lots of stakeholders picking their favorite. There was much debate.
I’ve posted stuff like this before and was really excited by the resulting discussion, so I figured I’d throw it out there again… WHICH IS BETTER, A or B?
Vote in the comments. Love to know ‘why’ if you care to explain your thoughts. 600 px wide versions of each image after the jump…hit [‘continue reading’ below]. After you all weigh in, I’ll tell you which one was used and why.
This is PHOTO A, below.
THIS is PHOTO B, below.
I like the idea of B, but A’s details just please my eyes so much with all of the environment to look at. Also it might be because I can’t see the product as clearly in B. My vote for A. 🙂
I find A is way too cluttered, but assuming the client has something to do with lifestyle or sportswear, the product is possibly more visible because…
I find B is way too indistinct, unless the client is the government, and they’re promoting vitamin D for health.
So it really depends what the campaign is for, which you (no doubt purposely) left out, to give us a surprise ending 🙂
B, because it gives a feeling of the moment.
I would go for the first one, but i has a blurry thing in the centre, so nr 2 it is!
i like A better. B just sort of looks blown out and almost like a mistake. i like how you see the definition/tone of the runner’s body/muscles in A. she looks more badass!
