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.]
Love it. Sometimes a picture just makes you feel. The duality comment above is what I felt. You can see two sides of a person in one shot. Engrossing, interesting, sexy, and dark all in one.
It’s a very weird photo, but I like it. I like odd photos, great job.
I like it! It took me a few seconds to determine that it was taken partially underwater. Very cool effect! I love photos that make me take a second or third look. Good job!
Like… because it makes your brain work for a bit to understand what’s going on, then you start looking deeper into the photo to see if there’s anything else weird!
I also like it because it instantly dragged me in because I wasn’t sure what was going on or how it was composed…simply creativity at it’s finest
