I’ve had a few ideas recently for some little projects exploring image trickery. A few ideas for showing how to use photoshop to work some magic but also some good old fashioned lighting and set up to achieve some nice results. I saw this on my friend Ben’s Flickr Photostream and thought I’d log it to remind me to do the project.
So, everyone has an opinion of Apple, one way or another.
Apparently Apple have changed their rules on what sexual content is permitted in the App Store. There will clearly be people arguing against these rules. Already people are moaning about the inability to install whatever you want onto the iPad. Check out TUAW to read more.
There’s an interesting question here. Do we really know what we want and what is best for us?
At present you can’t just install anything on an iPhone. Would it be better if you could? Is it best for us to be able to ram our computers full of applications, content and viruses. Then complain when they don’t work properly. Does that freedom actually bring us anything constructive?
On the other hand, who has the right to tell me what I can and can’t view?
If we are given complete freedom to flood our senses with unending explicit images, movies, innuendo and profanity, are we better off? Do we even have a right to such material? Do we even really want to view it?
It could be argued that part of Apple’s success has been created through taking an executive decision on what we can and can’t do with our phones and ‘pads’. Maybe they are doing us all a favour by creating genuinely good products that work well in the ways they are intended to at the expense of restricting our capabilities.
Freedom of information – an interesting topic. Comments appreciated.
Loving this series.
I have to confess it took me until about the 4th image to get the subtlety of the campaign at first. Another great example of intelligent well thought out work. Favourite image has got to be the car – Inner Drive.

Thanks Nike.
Undergoing a large project for Community Mission at the moment. Hoping to be able to post the results within a week or so.
Good, clever well designed advertising is a pleasure to behold.
The creator of such a piece considers the viewer intelligent enough to be worthy of an entertaining 2 minutes. These works are a welcome relief from a bombardment of persuasions to buy buy buy.
This Mercedes Ad is a great example.

This is the result of a little personal project photographing water, seeing what we could make from the results.
There’s so much to photograph in London. Most if not all of it has already been done by someone else. But that’s no reason not to get out there on a sunny day and shoot. Even if you end up creating something much like everyone else – at least you’ll have been outside, got some exercise and maybe you’ll have found something new and interesting to share.

This was part of a shoot intended to show emotion. Needless to say we had to screw up a lot of newspaper before we got the shot right. And lighting in the slim stairwell of a small flat was very challenging. Still, love the shot.
Apparently it only takes around 2380 slices of orange! Good to know when you’re out and about without a power socked nearby.
