hmm, the third shot is confusing me. The first few rows of seats have a defined shadow pattern casting behind them. Other seats in the back do not show a shadow pattern, yet all seats look like they are lit with the same light.

I agree: definitely photoshopped.

While shooting for a swimsuit calendar, somehow end up shooting this image.  Where is the swimsuit..  ?

Not so sure here.  I agree it looks odd, but if you examine the ceiling it looks like certain areas have additional defusing screens.  That could cause the shadow pattern to change, or lack of shadows.

Makes me thankful I don't work in the genre.

So good.

Keith, I was wanting to say much the same, but what with my PS computer gone up in smoke again, the € starting its upward trend against the quid again just as I have fallen in love with the red Mito... it would only have led to tears.

Hi James,

When I saw this picture, I almost jumped from my chair. I have in all my mess a picture of a painting from the english romantic that is a virtual clone.
The hair, the composition, colors, lightning...except the shoes of course. Can't remember the painter.
I've been trying to find it but as I've moved flat 3 times in 3 years... but it is impressive. If I find it I will post.

Very romantic approach. Great serie.

Cheers.

Lovely James, love the almost dreamy look due to the perfect combined colors.

A few from me.

Both sets are nice, but different - to what extent do you artistically interpret yourselves, or "work with" the client - or are you able to choose clients that like your style?

@dick,
I try to "master" as many different styles as possible in my free work (which I normally post here) commercial work is often or less interesting or not sharable because the products for example are not yet on the market.
Normally a client will approach us for a certain look from my portfolio (www.frankdoorhof.com/portfolio) and ask me to recreate that for their product.
And sometimes (which I prefer) they just give me the free hand, we recently started an advertising assignment for SYM scooters in which I can just do what I want within the borders of the client wishes of course, but these are the nice and not so regular assignments, most of the times they just want look this or look that.
Which in fact is almost copying yourself.

Hopefully hair and make up is one person. So you need to "fire" her/him only once.
Retoucher should also go.
Model, should not be  modeling.

Five boxers wandered into my studio today.

One Bohemian wire-haired pointing griffon wandered into my garden 18 months ago :-) and stayed...

confusing?
what might explain it is that the first row is a darker red then the second row
certainly did not do anything to it in ps other then blending exposures and levels or even using extra lighting
cheers

Love this dog, love this photo!
Beautiful dog, just gorgeous.

@Marc,
What would surprise you and I'll see what I can do in a next free work session :-)
Always trying to improve and be more versatile, but everyone needs a little kick sometimes in another direction.
Maybe look at www.frankdoorhof.com/portfolio in the concepts folder there is my more "edgy/different" work.
