I shot these the other day for a friend who is trying to get a clothing line started up. The original plan was to find a cool location like a fruit stand or orange grove to go along with the name of the company, Citrus, but we haven't found a place yet and he needed a shot or two for his site so we did a quick shoot in my living room. I used three speedlights, one in a 57" brolly camera left, one in a small shoot through umbrella camera right, and the last one behind the white bed sheet... I mean backdrop .

Take a look and lemme know what you think, be brutal if you must.

damn thats a very original idea, sounds like it'd be a good name for a skateboarding/sports company. like citrus skateboards/ citrus clothing.... lmk if you wanna do a shoot skating wearing his product, ill be down to contribute with my skills .

I think it's because we're seeing them out of context. If we saw these pictures on a product page for a TShirt, I think they would work perfectly fine.

i agree, i believe if the girls arm wasnt bent as much on pic #1 it wouldve been a better photo, maybe if she had her hands in her back pocket

We wanted to use her mustache tattoo though lol
