Here’s the Photo of the Day.
Like it or not? I’d love to know, and it would be good for everyone if you told me why.
[BTW, this image is from our “OGI” file. What’s that? Well…when Scott and I are editing photos after a shoot, combing through thousands to find the select few that see the light of day, we employ a practice that I can’t recommend highly enough. That practice is to put those surprise images–the unexpected happy accidents that have merit, but maybe aren’t relevant to the job we’re editing–into a file of their own with other like-minded (bizarre, unique, etc) images. We call that file “Otherwise Gifted Images”. That’s sort of what I meant by the title of this post. It’s got a double meaning… in one sense, like this image or not, the practice of saving random, unexpected stuff to a common file, or tagging it a certain way, is a good practice. In another sense, I do want to know if you like this photo or not. I’m bias, but I love it. In fact, I took a spin through that whole file last night and fell in love all over again with about 40 photos.. I’ll be sharing more of them over time.]
I like it. The image grabs your attention, makes you look, and look again. And the rotation, combined with distorted watery half image, creates tension and brings an interesting psychological aspect to the portrait. It’s both disturbing and intriguing.
I like it. I think it’s awesome. But I think photography is so subjective, I love alot of stuff.
I have a smart collection of images like this. But I dont call them OGI’s I call them ‘misfits’
Some of my favorite images come from this folder.
Don’t like it……it was interesting to look at for a second but after it didn’t do anything except for making me cross-eyed for a second. You can’t like em all sorry Chase.
The dramatic facial asymmetry makes it seem freakish, and made me contemplate how we value symmetry so much.
Great image which speaks for itself, so why are you asking for commentary?
