Using this photo taken by my friend at Studio One Hong Kong:
We had a friendly competition to see who could edit it the most "Artistically". We were given one hour exactly.
Here are the results:
My friend went for an old style look, to make it look like he took the photo in an old ballet studio back in the "ol' days". I think he nailed it.
Whereas I tried to emphasise and play more with the difference between the light and dark areas. I also wanted the model to glow in a hyper real way. I also converted my colour image to black and white (just because I like black and white). In addition I replaced the background a little.
I feel neither of us really won. They're all good in their own way (my friend agrees). Goes to show, there's many ways to approach a picture.
The first does the best job of capturing musculature, which is apparently important (I learned last week at a ballet shoot). The last is prettier to look at. The B&W conversion is probably the most successful, aesthetically overall.
Here is one that I shot with a photographer that I was mentoring. We where debating which style clients would like better so we set up this image and posted it on facebook and got really interesting replies:

I'm guessing most like 1 or 2. 3 is a bit "dark" for a wedding photo (racists?)
