Ok IMO looks like crap taken with a holga or a lomo.. but I have to say it has TONS of style.. seeing these makes me want to shoot them with 1/1 flash (lil. exaggeration) in the in the middle of a sunny day and just ramp a super strong curve on them.

Ok my question is :
Should try to get a more conventional "properly exposed" @ about 7:00pm shot and butcher it (I have pretty strong PS skills) or do i go with the previous suggestion and shoot "gnarly" (tempted to bring my lomo along as well hehe


ok here is the update.. edited a few last night (of about 600)

Style ok?
(please compare with the links above to let me know if I got it right?)

Thanks in advance!!

I'd ask your clients what they want. I really like your work and you've caught the "attitude" in the first set of pictures, but your don't have the extreme post processing. Frankly, I like the pictures you've done, but if they want the "gnarly" stuff, give it to them.
