I think its great. Maybe the slight warmth of her face could use some natural tones, but over all good comp and looks pretty sharp from here.

Now if I can just get my photos that sharp! ;)

Face is too warm. Got it. Will make that adjustment when I convert to black, in case that has any effect on it.

The Jukebox is actually an illustrator file provided by the company, btw....

I think you need to explain a bit more about the purpose of the catalog. If you're just trying to sell these things to bars, maybe it's good. The box itself is pretty ugly, and I think the model helps, but it's still pretty sterile. If the whole catalog is for different Jukeboxes you want to sell, and especially if selling towards end-users, then consider showing people enjoying dancing to it, having a drink & a chat etc... showing it as a facilitator/enabler of fun... more context/story...? Cheers, Tony

Thanks Tony. This is for a jukebox catalog, which I believe will have some lifestyle shots. I was originally contracted to shoot some interiors as well as models and product shots, but I think they discovered istockphoto, and cancelled that part of the contract. :(

As far as the box itself and the nature of this particular cover shot, this is how the customer drew it up. Shot to spec -- they showed me a free hand drawing and said "make this a picture."

In that case, I think the model fits in very well. I like her pose - gently curvy beside the straight-sided box without looking flirty or tacky. Nice clean-cut and fresh appearance and dress sense. Some interaction would have been nice - an arm over or resting on the machine - but probably more effort than it's worth if the Jukebox is Photoshop-ed in. Nice job on that... wouldn't have guessed it was one shoot, though in hindsight I can see she has less light on the left of her face (our right) than the box. Good luck with it, Tony
