Do you feel this has a comercial feel or does it not have anything to do... I think i am still way off, but i would like advice on this and what should i do to make it look more like a comercial, at least hwo to shot it... thanks in advance.

I have more if you feel it is better to see more.

Sorry dude not doing it for me... Don't think the Selective Desat is working here with the Color of the jeans against the white background. I don't really know where to focus, I want to look at the jeans (because they are the only color in the shot) but my eyes are drawn to the model's face and I ask myself, what the heck is he looking at...Interesting shot but somewhat confusing.

This is what i need... would you know how to improve it to look more as a comercial add, or even reshoot it but giving attention to the jeans.

I'm pulling your picture down to study it a little more in depth...

When I think of Advertisement/Commercial shots, 5th and 4th place in the Jewelry challenge come to mind.



This is publication advertising class stuff...which is really different than stock photography.

Dr Jone's shot above needs little or no words to get me to buy the watch... In a real shot like this where brand name would be allowed it would be evident what brand it was... so I go into Mervyns or one of those places to look at watches I would remember the watch brand because of the impact the photo (in a magazine) had on me.

Stock photography on the other hand is generally (IMO) a draw to suck viewer into reading whatever the seller wants you to read. Impact is not so important, as it would draw the viewer away from the text.

What audience is that you are trying reach?

Let's take your shot, what is it that we want to sell?
Jeans, Emotion or Body Language?
