Setting up competition shots

Given a task of shooting images for possible use in advertisements takes away the pleasure of photography as the pressure is on! I spent quite a while putting together a dozen shots.

This was from a set done for the local Coke factory in Bahrain. It was not accepted.



Set up was an Elinchrome 500 below a glass bowl, filled with ice. The colour was actually due to the Cola in the can being emptied into the ice.

Titled "Burning Thirst ?"

Not sure if you are wanting comment but here goes for me it is not that interesting a composition, the idea is good but the flat on look does nothing for me or the subject. May be the can on an angle and partially sunk would have worked better but I so not know, like the title.

Comments are very valid. I did not enjoy doing the set of shots. I couldn't picture in my mind what end result I wanted. Mind you, I very rarely do!

Interesting comment K10D, how much of a shoot like above is down to your ideas, and how much is directed from the advertising agency?

No input from an agency.. First rule of buisiness out here is do it cheap...The Coke Factory ran a competition, part of the prize was use of an image..
