Our "other son" made it home for Thanksgiving JUST in time to take this shot (7:30pm). We had it staged and ready as he walked in the door, and had him change in the living room. His first modelling assignment (thanks Steve)!
Shot through a glass top moved to a couple of workhorses, and lit be 2 studio lights.

Great idea and pretty good execution. Unfortunately, I think that the noise/grain effect is so overdone that it detracts from an otherwise very powerful and well done image.
I love this example. The level of grain is a bit distracting and to an extent spoils this for me. Grain works really well in some pictures, but I would have liked a sharp focus of the subject.
Returning for comments. I like this shot and scored it well. My only quibble is the noise is a bit too much. Having that much makes it look a bit too fake, IMO.
Good for you! The use of grain in photos on this site does not do well, I know from experience! This is a great shot but dont expect the 'mob' at dpc to appreciate it.
Great idea, the noise kind of killed it for me (check out Annah's shots for recreating the old). Would have also liked to see more perspective/depth. 6, minus noise, 5.
Top notch photo! The perspective is terrific, as is the processing. Very much the feel of the 60's with the noise and tones. Some small detail are pulling this forward in time, the wide tie, the hair cut and even the fit of the shirt. That is soooo hard to avoid. Excellent work 9
first of all I don't know the history, but I had something similar in mind for my year, so I love the concept and the angle of view is pretty nice, what I don't like is the grain... too much added
