Critique Welcomed Smoke Photography

[Roger Byrne]

I'm thinking of having some of my Smoke photo's printed to sell. Bit of a risk so would like some feedback first.

What's do you think ?

Wow. How DID you do that butterfly?!

 

[Roger Byrne]

Hi Rob, its actually a version of the second photo mirrored in photoshop and the colour inverted

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Impressive. As for selling - I've no idea. But, good luck!

 

[Brian Moore]

Pretty amazing looking stuff, Roger. I'm guessing there might be a market for that.

Holy crap those are some of the most beautiful images I've ever seen (and other than now being a pro photographer, I used to work in a printing lab so I've seen a LOT of images) and I really think they'd sell well. I think the first and third images work the best, only because the first image looks beautiful with those colours and in that pattern and would look good anywhere, and the second image has a real fine art feel to it

 

[Beth Anthony]

great work, love the variation in colors.

 

[Dan Cattermole]

Stunning shots!
Very well created.
The 4th one looks like the face of a frog! It's amazing what you can see in these smoke shots.

Roger - I think these are unique and very impactful

I can image them selling well for stock, also for art cards and posters/prints

What direction were you going to take when you printed?

 

[Roger Byrne]

Thanks for the feedback and kind words everyone, its given me a bit more confidence to go ahead and get some of these printed as Posters and framed prints, might also look into getting them done as greetings cards

Thanks

Mac

I too like these very much Roger and the composites are very effective (and I suspect the most commercial). I can imagine them working well in both domestic and commercial environments (and that is rare I think). Good luck.

 

[Andrew Cotterill]

Those are fantastic!

You can sell canvasses through 500px, you'd have less control of the process and maybe make less money, but less risk. worth trying that first to see how they sell?

 

[Roger Byrne]

Thanks Andrew, I've uploaded them redbubble similar process I think where you get a percentage of evey one sold
