Imagine L’Eau d’Issey Photography Competition Spring 2005

[Shutt3rbug]

i was not at the briefing this evening, though my rep collected the perfume product. can update me with the details of the briefing? thanks.

surprise when i open the box, no vibrant colours and 'uninteresting' shape. what a challenge!

most of the details r already on the Entry Form and the other paper tat she gave us. i think she mentioned she don't want just a simple picture of the perfume bottle itself, sumthing more creative.

Stated in the Entry form also says that "Entries percieved to have extensive manipulations will be disqualified and the one bottle of L'Eau d'Issey EDT 100ml should be return to Luxasia."

so that bottle of perfume isn't a kinda prize for the top 50 after all ?

how true that is should be portrait orientation?

Yeah man. Agree about the very challenging subject. :bsmilie: Need to spend some time coming up with some idea now :sweat:

Doesn't seem to be stated in the papers though. Hmm ...

So we just send in a CD with the images, no need to print?

:bsmilie: now it's getting more confusing

:bsmilie: now it's getting more confusing

i will stick to what the form says.

So the bottle is not free and must return to office after deadline? Not sure worth the effort to go collect now. ;p Somemore must fork out money to print large sized photo. :cry:

 

[reachme2003]

again, no mention of size in the form.

No. no. you will only be required to return the bottle if your photo is rejected due to heavy manipulation in post-processing. Else you can keep it and do whatever you want with it ;p

Should be a Portrait and not landscape.....

I don't recall she mentioned about Portrait orientation. :think:

 

[RichardSeah]

Should be a Portrait and not landscape.....

Huh? Should be portrait ah? Don't remember hearing Luxasia lady say it and don't remember reading that in entry form.

Is this a MUST or just a suggestion?

If landscape cannot, there goes some of my idea... but I guess can turn my ideas 90º CW or CCW.

Hi ppl! Congrats to all who got in!

I promised Jingwen to help her post the 2 sheets of info here.

For those who didn't get it, please download from the following link:

It provides some examples of "concept" that I think are basically for references.

All the best! :thumbsup:

Hi Guys,

Regarding the "Portrait Orientation" submission criteria:

It is true that your final submission has to be in "Portrait Orientation". The criteria is not stated on paper, it was last minute, and the organizer forgot to mention to some of you last night, she did ask me tell you guys here. The reason is due to limited exhibition space for 30 A2 size pictures. Please tell your friends.

Ok, this is just a guide (is subjective, just "rules of thumb”). Since the final output is A2 size, 420 x 594 mm 16.5 x 23.4 in. If you are using a 6mp DSLR, you should be fine if you submit a 3000x2000 pixel tiff file.

Thanks to Mocha and the rest of the members who helped to arrange the meetup with Luxasia - I have to admit that I totally missed her email on Tuesday.

As there are some points of confusion on the terms, R & Rs, etc, I will try to clarify with Jing Wen today and post for everyone.

 

[reachme2003]

as time is limited, we would like to hear only official r & rs. pls leave unofficial ones out. in the absence of further official r & rs, i will follow the r & rs on the contest form very closely. other than that, the rest is up to my discretion. hope this will prevent further confusions.

2. Orientation of the image is PORTRAIT

3. Photographers to submit TWO DIFFERENT compositions/images.

4. Images to be provided on SOFTCOPY (TIFF format) on CD. Can also include a print (4R) for reference purposes.

5. Image size is A2 :-
At 300dpi that translates to approximately 7050 pixels (height) x 4960 pixels (width)
