Commercial Photograph

For this part of the brief I was meant to photograph an object rather than people employing different lighting techniques I had learnt in Andy's work shops. But when my friend came round I saw that he was wearing Calvin Klein boxers. So I did some research in to Calvin Klein photographs.
I booked out the studio lights out over Christmas so turned my landing into a studio for a few hours to do the commercial shoot. It didn't take too long to get the lighting correct.

Here are a few Calvin Klein images which gave me some inspiration for the shoot:










These are the contact sheets from the shoot:










These are all the edited photographs. It took me about an hour to properly edit this image. I cropped the image so that it was just showing the bottom part of the body and Kayleigh's arm behind Adam's body, concentrating on the 'Calvin Klein' part of the boxers. I had to use the 'clone stamp' to make Adam's body smooth as he had stubbly hair on his stomach from shaving. I then turned the image black and white and added some contrast to the image to make it look a bit more interesting.





I don't like this image as much as the one above. I think that the images look better in black and white, most of the images for Calvin Klein are black and white.





I wanted to try something different with the next few images. Calvin Klein has quite sexy images so I wanted to try this out with my two best friends. Luckily they are very close so didn't mind being nude in front of each other.





This is my favourite image out of the two colour images. I think that Kayleigh and Adam's faces look intense and the image look sexy.
