The photographs complement what you are saying well. I really liked the volleyball shot. Playing in the woods is so out-of-place, but it does leave a somewhat subconscious image or feel for what the add is trying to convey. I do not think you would have gotten that with your typical beach volleyball setting. But, that is the setting. From the model's standpoint, you need to convey that you might be a pro volleyball player to add to the credibility of the shot. At this point I am somewhat rambling on how that one shot affected me. One of the other shots I loved was you and the other model in the coffin. That just appealed to my nature. The bridge shot was also good with the way you "connected" with the other elements of the shot. Great article. Doug Great article. The photographs complement what you are saying well.
