AddVenture,

Just goes to show how a little retouching can elevate your product shots to a completely different level. Nice work, and not overdone.

just woundering if you guys use real models or friend. if real models how much did the cost.

tqualizerman · October 27th, 2007

There's been a few threads about models and how/where to find them, and one of the points that I always agreed with and is obviously a good business move:

there are always new models who need to build a portfolio, and you can barter their services for your photos. Its great for both parties and you can keep your wallet in your pocket.

That said, if it came down to choosing between paying a model or using a friend for free your business deserves the edge that a paid model can give to your photos, rather than your friends who end up being way too shy or THINK they ARE a model.

...just to add some.

I think by starting with a photographer, one that you may find local while looking thru a mag etc. he/she will have models/makeup people etc. already.

Of course this will cost more but when you have a product that is at a potential high sales level...I would go that root.

-------
LOCHNESS - good street feel, and it relates to a certain market/Audience...i think.

------
Product shots
I think these types of photos are usually placed as a secondary (product info pages) and not the primary that would create a sense buy-me fantasy/concept.

------
NormsBrand
Nice model shots, well done, clean-cut.
I find them some-where between a primary and secondary. To focus them on one or the other will make it a stronger presentation in relation to the design attitude, feel etc.

...feeling like a critic now. Sorry.

thank's norm. it's actually a patented process, and i'm not allowed to discuss the specifics of the manufacturing process, sorry. all i can say is that it involves a lot of pressure. you can check out some more products and info at our company website (see link in my signature)

Haha yes it is, not many people catch that. And thanks.

Thanks to some of the advice on this thread we've decided to schedule a photoshoot in the next month or so to re-do our T-Qualizer promo shots. When they're finished I'll post something.

In the mean time, let's see some more of everyone's work!

I have one of michael's t-shirts and they are pretty cool

I even made a video of it on youtube (Michael, some of the recent comments there might be good info for you).

Here's a few shots that I got from t-shirtmodels.com

One moderately low tech option is lenticular lens dual image printing, like used on baseball cards to show the players face, then at a different angle the player at the plate.

Lenticular lens - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I see you are in china, are you the manufacturer of the product?

Damn, i even hate to mention it, but the lighting could have been a lot better in your picture. The girls are GREAT and i'm sure they did very well, but for photos of people, you want the light to be softer. I'd also have liked to seen the ladies eyes. The image layout is perfect!

Outdoor photography is a PITA!
