It's been a long while since I joined in with this thread, but I've had a pleasant fifteen minutes looking back some way through it. Though I haven't got the time or inclination to look through the whole hundred and odd pages I think that I've seen enough to work out which photos really hit the spot (for me) and what they have in common.

 

The first factor seems to be choosing a viewpoint for the model that you might choose for the real thing. Some of those model photos here with the wow factor exhibit telephoto foreshortening in the way that many photos of the real thing do.

 

The second would be to use copious quantities of light, either daylight or lots of artificial light, to give more contrast than the average model photo has.

 

Strangely the excellence of the model making, once it gets beyond clean and tidy, doesn't seem to make as much impact as the above.

 

In poor lighting conditions black and white photography seems to be a good deal less satisfactory than colour. I have an idea that with only black, white and the shades between a pretty contrasty image is required to infuse life into the composition.

 

In future I'll be trying to bring some of these theories to bear in my own attempts at photographing my work.
