The trainer and the kid
Another street shot taken with my Sony RX100. I liked the pose of the moment with the serious intent of the stare and the body language of the aerobics trainer toward the little girl on her three-wheeled plastic scooter (which almost every little kid has in Beijing). The trainer appears to be saying: "Get right back in there, missy!". Meanwhile the little girl seems to be willfully and blissfully ignoring her command, as she makes a get-away on on her little pink scooter.
I liked the mix of colours, the triangle of composition with the headshot of the model in the background, as well as the accentuation of size difference between the girl and the trainer, as the trainer is closer up while the girl is further away in the scene. Some of the English in the ad is also a bit stilted and comical as well.
Although the image is cropped in pretty tightly, so as to cut out some distratcting background elements, the crop also seems to further enhance the sense of how tall the trainer is in contrast to the girl on the right.
The headhsot of the model in the middle appears in a multiple exposure image just a few images farther down in my photostream (taken with my Nikon D500).
Post work was done mainly in Capture One, along with some HDR effects in Photomatix. A few refinements in tone, colouring and contrast were made in PS and I corrected for a tiny bit of barrel distortion from the lens in Lr. I also cleaned up some noise from the HDR processing in Photomatix and later in Topaz Denoise. The HDR rendering in Photomatix added some nice highlights to the gym outfit and brought out some of the muscle tone in the trainer.
