Dior ADDICT

In my opinion selling fragrance over images or moving image isn't easy job. Why isn't that easy, well how can one sell a smell with out making the audience smelling it?

So what they aim in here is to sell the life style of the subject/girl presented in the Ad. 

Let's look closer to the moving image/"video" . . . 

Count of characters and how many of them are make and how many of them are female ? 

-Well there is only one female character who appears to be the main character and many male characters.

Does the main character uses the product presented in the ad? 

Yes she uses the product. 

If yes what changes happen once she uses the product? 

The form and speed of entire video changes, putting her in the centre of the attention of all men. Suddenly it is like the world turns around her, and she is who she is, young, beautiful, flirty and  bit rebellious girl. 

Is she going after one men? or flirting with only one men? No All she does is spays the parfume and dances her way in to a bar/cafe and changes music, shows a bit of her ASS while dancing and all the men are dancing with her. 

Long story short, Dior aims to sell the life of this beautiful model, a life with out any sadness/problems, a life with  lots of attention of men, a life that you are the center of it. 

Of course this add doesn't make you go out and buy the product right after watching but it makes the audience curious. Curious of how this fragrance smell because boys want her and girls want to be her well (not everyone because this ad targets certain audience in age and class/lifestyle) 

Ps. I love the part where she has a cat on hear head, nice use of kitty meme. (this also shows that the audience of this ad is younger generations 16-26 maybe?)

Style Hunting - Hat, Shades, Bag, Shoes

Yep you heard it right STYLE HUNTING is back in the menu. 
It has been so long I haven't get out there and look for stylish people.
When I saw this gentlemen I wasn't planning to find stylish people and photographing them but who cares about planning about style hunting it just happens and you spot some one and say thats it he/she is the one.
All I had with me was Minolta X-700 + 50mm 1.7 attached to it with Fuji C-200 film loaded, I said "hhmm this should do . . . Now should I ask him to take his photo or snap it from the angle I like and run like a Gorilla?" and I snapped from the angle I like then looked around me  and see people staring at me and then I stared back at them.

YES the film is POORLY SCANNED what do you expect from my holiday film scanner (made for travelling) 

I like that he is actually wearing something different than blue, gray, and black because here in London the weather is so boring it make the peoples cloths boring, it might look like that day was nice but in fact it rained 1 hour after I took that photo.

Wow this thing looks useful but look at it, that thing looks like a transformer.
One thing for sure that it will make all the other products for focusing look like a toy.

With this product I think we will see lots of cinematic YouTube videos.

Before I write anything I'd like to state that I will not compare these 2 flashes on which one overheats faster than the other. If you want to see that just write SB900 Vs SB910 on youtube, tons videos should come up about that.
