This is an older photo I did a few years ago. Yes, the ears of corn really were there... there were 109 of them, they are 6 feet tall cement ears of corn in a random field by some businesses in Dublin, Ohio.

it is real! It's more boring than it looks. well, I think it looks boring. Cement ears of corn? haha. It's just in an area with some tech businesses or something, nothing interesting around it. Thanks for the support!

So, is the background real? Because if it is, I'd like to go there sometime. I hope you win the contest! You deserve the support and the money. All that long times taking pictures has taken course! I'm acctually starting to get into my new photography camera...I got one for my birthday and it's a professional one...I'm new at it an dI don't really know how to work it... My bad, I guess... But, hope you win!!! All the best fo luck to you!!!

I had multiple paragraphs in that post, but yobi removes line breaks in comments, my apologies if it's difficult to read

Mark, I photograph many different things. I mainly only post the portrait/group photos that I set up since that's what I want my portfolio and online image to mostly represent, that's where I get work. Winning this contest would give me much more money than I made all of last year, calling me a professional photographer is something that's a bit questionable, at least in the business sense. The photo on this page I took two years ago when I was 18, I didn't even move out on my own until about six months after this photo was taken. Yobi never made a distinction between any type of photographer. It's more of a popularity contest than anything anyway, since it's based on votes. I highly respect and enjoy many other photography fields. It's at least equally difficult to capture a moment in real life as it is to recreate something that didn't exist. But, let's face it, there's not much of a career in the more photojournalistic approach. I want to make a living doing what I love, so I've turned more to a commercial perspective.

Yes... a scan of a photo posed and created. Not a real capture of an actual real scene. You are a professional/commercial photographer in an amateur contest. If you win, that will be the end of amateurs entering it. Even thinking they have a chance of winning here EVER AFTER! ...remember that next year when you enter again and are only competing against all other professionals and lose! ;)

This is straight out of the camera, no editing. http://www.keatonandrew.com/htl.png Keep in mind a few things. As I said, this is an old photograph, two years old. For me that is a long time, I picked up a camera for the first time four years ago. I needed one more light than I had available to me and also should have placed my key light on the four members in the back a little closer to them. Learning experience! The guy in the air may appear odd because I used a ring flash as the light on him.

I will do one better and show you the original, unedited photo... give me a bit here and I will put a link or something. It is a photo, nothing is off in the editing! Not a composite!

MoNaRky said:

You have a good eye for compositing various elements in your commercial art. Bravo!But what I'm wondering about, is the Post Production Effects Skills. Shadows are off and it's too easy to see the paper doll cutout effect on your main "in the air" model element!So is this a 1x photographed SHOT or is it many elements digitally crafted in, using Photo Shop? and has it ceased to be a photograph and just become a Digital Creation?I'd love to see the Meta-Data on this! ;)
