But Which One
So, part of the overhaul of PhotoCPL.co.nz is the cull. It is kind of gnarly, there's emotional investment in every image, retiring an image to the pits of a hard drive is like a little death. Maybe that's a tad dramatic, but you get the idea. There's a change in style, a change in aesthetic. It got me thinking, why operate in a bubble? I got you guys, why not ask YOU what you'd put on your wall... no obligation.
Yesterday's swim zone. So a panned back line-up; not maybe this one, but a Line Up shot from the land. Do you prefer line up shots over single wave water shots?
The photographers' choice; arty back'n'white study of the lip line, the ribs and texture of a pitch perfect wave. And maybe this is kind of an ego shot, where the photographer is showing off, showing calm in the critical. Would you dig that on the wall beside the telly?
The panned back water shot, showing a great wave, but in context, showing the beach and headland that the image is taken at. Do you think these types of images could be more popular because the client has a connection to that break?
Not quite so panned back, more about the wave but you can identify the location [different wave by the way] Does this appeal more?
Soooo, a hint to the far right of the location with Te Waha headland, and a perrrrrfect silvery pitch, is this style more a print you'd want on your wall?
Maybe a photographers' image, The cool flares in the brokeh, the bowl, but no context, could be a host of breaks. But that lip line..... is this a style you like? Email cpl@photocpl.co.nz
So please, let me know, what style, what aesthetic do you like.

In these weird ol' times of traffic lights and resistance to physical shopping, it has been challenging getting the book in front of buyers. Sales went nuts with pre orders...like seriously nuts. Then retail was effectively shut down in February. Anyway... still feeling covid store adverseness??? Check out the book HERE
