I'd like to try as many clichés this year as possible. So I'd like to compile a list of all of them. Everyone of them. I'll keep the list in the first post so that you'll know if it's been posted already or not. This is an equal opportunity thread I'm not judging. Really!

Think of it as wikicliche

bubblewrap
caution tape
railroad tracks
muslin
guitars
motorcycles
black & white
digital
film
forest
jungle
sheepskin rugs
wings
Hands covering breasts
belt covering breasts
booty shots
rose petals
face paint
three graces
chess sets (checking out my old PBs)
LPs
plastic wrap
polaroid type 55 negs w/borders
ringflash look
this thread (2)
chick in bathtub with boobies above water...bubbles or not
chick in bathtub with bum above water...bubbles or not
saying cheese
angry face with claws out
angry face without claws
Senior hugging tree at the park
looking over the top of a pair of Raybans
girl giving the camera the finger
feather boas
hats as props varying poses covering boobs

a bad copy is just a bad image no matter what the content, i have seen almost all of these cliches done very well, and i wouldnt be afraid to try one if i thought i could make it a wonderful image.

I concur, it's a cliche when it looks like everything else. It's either innovation or inspiration when it's done right big_smile

The fact that this has been the subject of over 36 previous topics makes this cliche.

Don't forget Senior hugging tree at the park or looking over the top of a pair of Raybans or girl giving the camera the finger....these are all so original.
