Lets try to count how many images we see in one day. One...two...three...seemingly impossible right? I could not find any statistics that include images + ads but lets just say it is a LOT! And since we are in such a visual culture, it is important to create pictures that will stand out from the massive assortment of brands, posters, billboards, online journals, newspapers, magazines, the stack of photos your aunt found from behind her cabinet, and many others. Keeping it visual means keeping it interesting.
When on an assignment or just for fun, lately I've been trying to accessorize my photos with something that gives them an extra "Pop!" to make them different. When selecting shots, I'm asking, "What makes this item unique?" and I try to emphasize this aspect with lighting and adjusting angles. The point is to draw the viewer's eye first to the subject and then to the little extra "sumth'in sumthin". Making images interesting in a good way to keep the attention of those looking at your work. It's easier to accessorize them than to be like this guy >Link: http://bit.ly/qUmBXQ.
