Studio Shoot Review

I posted my three final images on Facebook, and asked which people preferred in terms of composition, text and overall presentation.

Edit A 

This was the first photograph I edited, and where I first formed the idea for the composition of the advert. I downloaded the logo for Barry M, Superdrug and Boots and placed them alongside the text to create the information of the advert. I decided that my advert would contain a word relating to the dark colours of the nail varnish, and thought words relating to the word 'sexy' and 'beautiful' would be best. I thought of the three words 'alluring', 'enchanting' and 'enticing'

I used the word 'alluring' for this particular shot because of the space that I had. I originally had all of the text white, with the exception of the logos, but then I thought that turning the keyword into the same colour as the Barry M logo would work well and make the word stand out.

The feedback I got from this shot was positive. Everyone said they liked the word but some people said they thought the shot was a bit too simple, and looked like the products had just been placed there without any proper thought.

Edit B

I chose the word 'enchanting' because of the connotations. Enchanting reminds me of witches and dark sorcery, which is what the colours represent.

People generally loved the setup of this shot, and thought the word worked well. The only negative feedback I have is from myself, as I think that the grey nail varnish on the left hand side doesn't fit in with the overall setup. It appears to be misplaced and doesn't match the colour scheme of 'dark'.

Edit C

People also liked the composition of this photograph because of the way the necklace hung over the nail paint bottle, but a lot of people didn't know what the word meant. Therefore, if I decided to use this photograph, I will change the word to either 'enchanting' or 'alluring'.
