Help me choose a photo of this pornstache wearing gent.

I need your opinion oh wise people of the internet. I shot a series of these fantastically creepy, yet oddly nostalgic mannequins last week and am having trouble deciding which direction to go with them. I have a faculty show coming up soon and I think I'd like to put a few in the show. Here are four versions of a gent wearing a muff, a fur turtleneck and a pornstache. See what I mean about creepy?

I can't decide which one gives me the best vibe. Which one do you like best?


1. vintage

2. color

3. faded

4. black & white

I like the color one the best...then vintage.

#2 -color is the creepiest.

i like faded. Gives it an 80's pornstache type feel.

I like faded. It looks like an older photograph, like you might find in your grandma's basement.

Kailyn said...

Faded.

Lynda said...

I find #1 to be a lot more creepy than the others, even the B&W.

Hilly—Those are my favorites as well.

Cindy Mom—Why do you think the color is so creepy? It's the super bright popping out at you isn't it?

Tim—Exactly my thinking when creating it.

VP—Eww, I hope my Grandma didn't know any guys like this. :)

Kailyn—Thank you.

Lynda—The b&w just isn't doing anything for the image, is it?

Color baby it's all about the hi-def

CMS—Pure, real color. Reality is a bit creepy I guess.

I like faded the best...makes the pornstache more authentic.

SWG—The decision isn't getting any easier. At least I know I can eliminate the b&w one.

I like the faded one best too! Just looks really cool!

JQ said...

See, I like the black and white photo. It reminds me of a movie I once saw...

Vintage

JSH—Thanks for stopping by and leaving your choice!

JQ—That "movie" you speak of. Would it be of the porno variety?

Shades—It's that or color I think.

I was just going to come on here and "yell" are you for not blogging and yay now I don't have to !

Anyway, I am going to go with faded. Its the feel you are going for, I think.

I agree with JQ, black in white is the best one. I don't know about that movie though.
