I just want to know where you forgiven

Marko, I really like these shots. I believe they could be a bit sharper, but this may just be my monitor. Aside from that, I love the lighting and the feel of these images. Images like this to me are far more than just photographs. It takes an idea and a creative thought, technical competency, and the ability to interpret the ideas and bring them to life. This is what Fine Art Photography is all about. Good to see this stuff. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the continued comments everyone. I like the results that Carmy and I got with these shoots. The intent was more 'fun' than art but I do agree some of the results are decent.

It was an incredibly interesting experience walking around with different 'hairstyles' for a week and a half. You really get to test people's 'honesty' filter this way. When we shot the 'lounge singer' I walked around with that ridiculous moustache and haircut for a couple of days and several people told me I looked really good. When I told them it was just a silly look for a photo shoot, they said thank god, you look ridiculous. .

My wife says you look grumpy Marko

Seeing as I know you are paranoid about colour Marko ... that 2nd shot looks like there's a bit of a yellow cast in it and the background looks greener than the 1st shot lending more weight to this observation.

Too funny !!!

The french guy photo with the bread and the spilled coffee was the best, IMO! I laughed my bag off (camera bag) when I saw that.

and another. My wife is getting the biggest kick out of these and wants people to see them so it's easiest to post here and email 1 link.

Dude! do you have on mascara and eye liner? looks good! accentuates your eyes. women have known this for a very long time. men can benefit too as you show here

Thanks to susan I finally got to see this thread that I managed to miss probably because it was originally posted just after I joined. I love these. Marko, you are a man of a thousand faces. What a great set!

Nope, no make-up. I'm naturally this beautiful.

These are hilarious, and very well done. Marko, who knew you're an actor and a comedian, as well as a photographer?

Those are cool Marko. I never saw these before as they are a few years old.
I think Mike has summed up it up well.
