Fitness

collage from a catalog shoot I recently did for a fitness clothing company

Maybe it's just me, but they look a bit OOF.

^ The 2nd one looks the sharpest out of all.

I think it's how I cropped each pic and stitched it with the others that degraded the pic. The orig pics are fine.... I think I recognize a pic when it's oof. Thanks for the comment

^ It could just be from the compression too!

It does not look oof, just a tad soft.
Lighting looks nice but the image is too busy for my taste. There is so much going on so its hard
to fing a place where to look.
My only problem is her pose in second image. When people dont know how to throw punches and kicks, it pretty much looks like that. Her hand positions are off and mouth is open. Well normally clothing company dont care stuff like that, they only want pretty face to smile =)

they just want to see there product look good on a pretty face.

My only criticism would be including the windows, not enough dynamic range for them the way you shot, no detail in the one on the far right. And a bit distracting having the model's head centered on them.

In every shoot on location there are sacrifices to be made like the available floor area you work with... the unmovable equipment and furniture, contract/permit and requirements from the owner of the location, client's requirements and instructions. To the best of our knowledge, the team decided to shoot at that particular spot after weighing the pros and cons of the existing conditions.

IMHO I think you weren't wanting C&C on this photo, correct?

You seem to be getting defensive when people are only trying to help for your next shoot, I think the biggest thing for me is that #2 in the picture really stands out just because it is so much sharper than the others. Maybe try and use the same technique you used for #2 on the other 3 since they are all in focus in the originals and that way you can keep them all just as sharp as the others.

Other than that good looking set and good job making the best out of the available space!
