Nokia Cell Phones - Features Galore

Campaign for Nokia Mobile Phones - "So Many Features, You'll Think it Does Everything!" - This photo demonstrates even more very effective use of lighting to highlight important areas of this shot. (from Lurzer's Int'l Archive p.10 - Generator, Auckland, New Zealand - photo Peter Bannon)

Portrait Using Effective Lighting

Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger is highlighted in the Dec-Jan 2004-05 issue of Rolling Stone Magazine ( p. 78 - photography-Michael Grecco). This artist of this portrait uses a unique scheme of lighting to, in my opinion, accentuate the models strength and confidence.

More on Collages

This post came from Lurzier's Int'l Archive, Vol.4-2006, p.33. It represents part of an ad campaign for Folgers brand coffee - Saatchi and Saatchi, NY - Dylan Nelson. I like the way the artist blended the image to create a montage of very interesting things to view.

Do You Like My New Contacts?

The photo came from Lurzer's International Archive Vol. 2-2006 (page 8). It was a featured photo from a campaign for Krass brand colored contact lenses, Scholz and Friends, Berlin - photo and alterations made by Stephan Deisenhofer. I know it's a little surreal and creepy, but I imagine it did catch your attention. Didn't it???
