Great !

I particularly found the takes in min 2 very cool.

I like the smothness and precision of the overall, and timelapse aren't distracting but you managed to play well with it.

Sound is treated pro as well.

I think this video reflects visualy the values that the manager is talking about.

Good work indeed.

That's a beautiful shot. I recently visited a small but very good exhibit of Harper's Bazaar photography at ICP in NYC - incongruously along the 9/11 and Great Depression exhibits -, and this would have been right at home there!

On a tangent, they have a retrospective of their photography which was recently released, picked it up but haven't opened it, yet.

Whatever you do don't google "Sally Mann", you'd get a brain aneurysm for sure. Don't open a mail order catalog or visit the beach either for that matter. All that "training" of yours has obviously made you paranoid and quite frankly I find your views disturbing to say the least. I'm done here.

And for heaven's sake never visit Finland - we go to the sauna entirely naked, with families and friends, regardless of age or sex!

Last post on the topic.

Some of you seem to think that I am a prude and I'm against nudity. Nothing could be further from the truth.

I've been to two Robert Mapplethorpe exhibitions and haven't been offended.

I've seen Sally Mann's books and haven't been offended. Her children are being children in a supportive family environment. In fact I feel more comfortable with Sally's work than I do with the image of the boy.

I felt uncomfortable with the image of the boy because I saw it as age inappropriate. Here was a young boy in an adult pose, that is, bare chested showing his designer underwear top. He looks about eight, I'd have preferred to see him in a pose suitable for his age.

Cheers,

Hadn't really noticed but you are right.

Could be something to do with having used the 24mm Digitar lens here - which is ultra wide as you know.
I personally don't like using it for a number of reasons and usually don't as a result; however, when your back is up against the wall and the client wants you to get a bit more in, it keeps them happy.

It was the same with the bedrooms at myhotel Chelsea, as seen here...

.. where there was only a few feet between me and the bed. 
Although I did manage to getaway with a long lens on this one...

.. even though the client originally would have liked to see more of the room.

So I'll blame the tools - just like any good workman would  ;)

Strange.  I thought all interiors photographers were hypersensitive to the sloping floor effect. Something we prefer to avoid most of the time, if possible, but unavoidable sometimes if the client really must have the breadth of view. Doesn't really bother me much here, and it is kind of counterbalanced by the angle of the tub. Anyway, really enjoy your work.

I must say i´m very surprised about the discussion around the picture of the boy i have posted in this forum, i do not understand the "critic", it´s so many photographs from highly respected and famous photographers out there that is more "sexual" than this for some people, it´s not intended to be a picture with a sexual undertone, for me Luminous Landscape is a serious place to shear pictures and get serious feedback from other respected photographers, hope it stays that way

Well, that's (unfortunatly) just the reflection of the way human functions in large extend.

People tend to create truth from a setted mind, conditionned by cultural, moral, social codes. Most of the people have no clue that their minds are setted and they think they make choices,
when what really happens is that they have zero control over their beleifs, feelings, and actions. Therefore, they do not act, theyt just react.

Those patterns create a false sensation of identity and separation, exacerbated by cultural link and competition. (people compeat between themselves, nations compeat between themselves, continents compeat too). I'm "this that or the other", and those are "differents", generaly perceived as hostile for being different. Competition leads to exploitation. At an individual level, this is expressed by the need to be right, to win within a conversation, impose one's points of views and values and beleive that those values are right.

Of course, none of those views are right, nor truth, but people beleive they are truth because they actually beleive that they are free-thinkers.

The cosmos couldn't care less about our ridiculous "knowledge", beleifs, religions and values; what's "good" and what's "bad". It follow its course, and will do it, with or without, us.

It's interesting to notice that it has been demostrated that during the indy ocean tsunami, the free animals could detect before the danger and saved their lifes. The human, who has the same capacity, was unable to do so...

In a place like Lu-La, those social patterns can be expressed by the sensation of brand addiction, I belong to this or that club, the Canonist, the Nikonist...or, MF vs DSLRs is another expression of how to create empty content from a versus. The goal is never to create content, it's all about "I'm right and you are wrong".

It can be expressed also by ethic manies: This is correct, this is not correct. This is shocking vs this is not. Bacchus vs ....etc...

Very few people have a clear idea about of how far our minds are programmed. They think they are free-thinkers, that they have free-will, that they possess a sort of truth somewhere, that their parameters are important and universal...

Real powers (the real powers are always in the shade) exploit that totally, and they know how to because they have information.

That's funny. Bread and circus man. Bread and circus. Do you understand why it works so well and why this world is like this?

But that's a debate for the "coffee corner".

Tom, I understand what you are saying, but not in this context. When I was eight and played football, AKA soccer, I ran around without a shirt. I am sure folks saw my underwear because pants did not always fit--this is actually a trend in fashion (who knew I was cool, but before my time). I was also striking poses at eight--children do imitate what adults do and this the "hey look I am cool" pose. Now, this kid is a lot, and I mean a lot, cleaner than I was, but this photo not unnatural beyond the lack of dirt.

I think you are projecting far more into this image than is there--I agree there is a great deal of imagery that does sexualize children, but I don't see it here. Now if you are thinking about pedophiles, the problem here is not in the image.

Don't worry about it, it's just one person's opinion. As you've seen, more people than that don't find anything objectionable in the picture - in fact, many find the objection itself presented by that one person objectionable. The more attention you pay to that objection, it gets more undeserved legitimacy.

Nikola, those are very beautiful!  I would love to know how you achieved that rich, golden tone that you got here.  It's right on the mark.

Thank you! For the toning I used a great little plugin, Alien Skin Exposure. It's much quicker than playing around with curves etc :)
