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.
Not too sure if i can say something that’s already been said in over 1,000 posts.. but A makes me think i’m that guy who enjoys watching beautiful women jogging (heck, who isn’t that guy?) but with B it seems more about having that surreal moment in your morning run that just clears your head
A is about the physique of the woman and B is about the emotional appeal to running (to me, of course)
both are great but i would say…. A 😉
dunno which sports company it was shot for?… but having done some stuff for both i’d say,
Nike = B
Reebok = A
i choose image B. image A is nice but it’s just a stock photo…it doesn’t have the chase jarvis personality to it. i actually think i would want to composite the girl from A into B. so much about her in A that is great this is missing in B.
I like B better. There is a weird shadow in that light green tree behind the runner that I do not like. I don’t like the dark shadows at the cars and the ugly bumper of the white car. And I happen to like the flare in B because it shows motion that is lacking in A.
