Girls & Dresses



Yet another shoot for "Amfi Magasinet". This will be a double pager in the middle of the magazine. The purpose was to show off christmas/party dresses. It's taken in one of the stores where they sell these dresses.

Re: Girls & Dresses

Your gonna kill me - but I'd have preferred if you moved to the right, and took more to the left - so you don't have those clothes on the racks in the frame, just the dressing rooms and the girls.

Re: Girls & Dresses

I see your point Azz, but I have to admit I like the fact that the clothes are there, I think it sets the scene...

Re: Girls & Dresses

Haha, couldn't disagree more! I wanted this shot to be somewhat symmetrical, and it wouldn't have been if I did what you said. I wanted the picture to be exactly the way it is

I do see what you mean, but I don't find the clothes to the right too distracting.

Re: Girls & Dresses

If you are 110% happy with the picture, as it is, and it's exactly what you want, why tick the C&C button? People are going to give C&C if you do that...

I personally agree with Azz - I think the scene is set enough without the rack of clothes, the dressing rooms do that. Also, I'm not convinced you took it at the most flattering angle, the girls all look rather short in the leg.

I agree - and the girls at the edges faces look a bit distorted.
