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.
Definetly A Mr Chase.
Flare is too distracting and looks photoshopped on B 🙂
Unless the sports company is selling flare I don’t see how there’s much of a decision to make here. A, though I’m not fond of either.
My personal fav is B,
Photo A is very much suitable for campaign point of view because of concept and in advertising its hard to choose Photo B coz the sun glare is making distraction from the concept, Photo B is good in cinematic shot, where camera pan making a glare n making the subject more visually appealing 🙂
I vote A. It’s a tough call, but I agree with previous comments that the sun flare in B is just a bit too much. It gives B a beautiful sense of atmosphere, but I feel it dominates over the model.
I think a, because of the model.
