Shots for a workshop

A friend of mine runs a small custom furniture business and as part of his service, clients can come to his workshop to watch, help, tweak, etc.

He's asked me to do some photos to pretty up the workshop a bit and I think I've decided on a style for them but thought I'd get a second opinion or two before I shoot them all.

I dig it... I like the texture of the wood against the color...and I like it all actually!

I like the color and texture too.

I do find the vignette/spot light to be a bit constricting. And I'd like to see more 'metal' in the blade.

Vignette is way too heavy; I dont like it. The blade is also too dark me thinks.

Try converting to B and W, those textures will look good in B and W

B&W isn't what I intended.

Anyway, I shot a series in this style but with a touch more power on the spots and he was overjoyed with them. They aren't my usual style or a lighting and split toning style that I normally like but the client is always right.

If the client's happy it worked.

Yeah, they won't make into an exhibition or my upcoming RPS panel but I got paid so that's the important thing.
