I love the idea of using the solarization but it’s just not selling LV to me, or I am done with LV.

I could reach eternity in trying to erase the wrinkles of a 50-years old (normal) person only by solarizing a negative (or, by using some of the handy Photoshop/Corel tools). Her flawless skin, her baby-doll appearance may fit into the photo shoot scenario, but that doesn’t make it less digitally enhanced, does it?

As for the photographic technique, thank you, Dash for the useful information! I was so curious that I tried my amateur hand in digitally solarizing a picture right after reading your comment! Nothing compares to the real negative solarization, as I understood from reading around, but thanks to you, I just learned something new! (and that’s priceless)

This a photographic technique called solarisation with the help of which an image is partially reversed in tone. It was made famous by Man Ray in the early 20th century. Thusly, before embarrassing yourself with sad Photoshop remarks, it would do you well to learn your art history first .

This is a fantastic ad campaign. The saturation of photoshop, the stiff doll-like poses of every picture, the blending of her, the furnishings and the backdrop accentuates the bags. Beautiful color rendering and quite unique. Everything you see is deliberate and produces vivid contrasts from the bags themselves which is the true product. These are far more exciting than the previous campaign used with Madonna. Although beautiful photos done in a cafe setting, they were more true to life in a real environment and the bags became camouflaged.

In this case, the series of photos are bold yet decadent and very fresh. Well done Steven!

I love the colours of the ads but that most certainly does not look like Madonna. She has been airbrushed out of existence in these photos! Not to be believed!
