Photograph or Illustration
Looking at the fashion magazines I always wonder at the product shots. What percentage of these ads do you think are real pictures? So many seem to be illustrations and not pictures. Your thoughts? May 28 09 03:49 pm Link It's hard to say to what degree, but I'd be willing to bet that some pretty heavy handed editing has gone on. Funny how this seems to be the buzz right now... Look @ the top image in the about me: https://www.modelmayhem.com/693462 (animated gif, give it a few seconds) It shows what kind of stuff is done on a normal basis... Paul May 28 09 04:03 pm Link There seem to be a lot of them. Since I have bought several of Bert Monroy's books and videos they seem to pop out at me more. Jewelry and watch ads seem to be the mostly illustrations. They might have started out as an image, but they are too perfect to be real. May 28 09 04:10 pm Link Well, in the old times they were made with airbrush, so there's no big difference. Products in videos are always made in 3D or plaster May 28 09 05:17 pm Link Malize Evans wrote: Ditto. May 28 09 05:53 pm Link I'm just amazed at how good they can look. Perfect example: http://www.rolex.com/en/#/en/index I need to get Illustrator and get to learning.  May 28 09 06:21 pm Link Gibson Photo Art wrote: felt like i could almost touch that!

May 28 09 06:27 pm Link The rolodex looks like a photo to me - some photoshop but I think its mostly a photo. Lots you can do with a really sharp lens and a pro studio with lots of equipment.

They left a black line right up the middle where one can't exist. May 28 09 06:42 pm Link |
