Greetings!
Yesterday, I completed a photo shoot for a client of mine. She wanted to enter the Mad Men Casting Call contest (her entry can be found here: http://madmencastingcall.amctv.com/browse/detail/Q9PN5Z. Please vote for her!). My client and I took over 200 photos yesterday. Since Mad Men is a very visually based show (after all, it’s about people who work in advertising, which is visual communication), I applied my graphic design skills and lighting skills in most of the images. I did not Photoshop any of these images. I used my camera on it’s manual settings and adjusted the ISO to control the amount of light that went into the camera.
This is the image that my client picked to enter for the contest:

This image captured the Mad Men look and feel the best. Angela’s pose was confident and sexy. Most of the characters on that show have those traits, so we wanted that reflected in her photo. She is relaxed in the pose. The setting for the background fits perfectly for New York’s country clubs. The lighting also matches with the similar contrast in the lighting and the shadows.
Do you think we captured the “look and feel” of Mad Men? What do you think of the image from a photography perspective?

Thank you!
I took a look at your photo. I like the story and the setting of the image. Many of the entries do not tell a story, so I think it is great that you took the time to do that with your photo. Who was your photographer for the images?
