Simply Beautiful

In an earlier edition of Imagemakers we shared with you a truly complex Studio Set we were asked to construct for a Holiday Shoot.

But sometimes you can create an equally compelling image by taking a simple graphic approach. A clean uninterrupted view of a product is sometimes the most difficult to do. Every prop, every fold or reflection becomes hypercritical. But that’s the fun.

Going for Gold in Style

You’ve trained for years and your entire country is counting on you. Now what are you going to wear? This month we asked: What did you think of the athletes' uniforms at the Vancouver Olympics?

• Polott, Studio Manager:
  "What struck me was how apropos the Snowboarding outfits were. Snowboarding is a 'rogue' Olympic sport and the outfits were often a great match!"
• Dave, Carpenter:
  "I think the Olympics have a great history and heritage. I thought that the jeans and sloppy uniforms were out of place. I did like the exotic skater's outfits though."
• Mark, President:
  "I thought the theatrical ingenuity of the figure skating outfits was amazing. They enhanced the gracefulness of the movements and at times provided the illusion of wind traveling through the skaters."
