A couple of the office assistants wanted a photo...Ok, I talked them into a photo. They kept telling me how "unphotogenic" they were.:dunno As we were getting ready, one asked if they could have their photo together as well. So tried something a little different.

And the different one...(the photo itself is poor, but I like the idea)
[and the right spelling this time...I think?]

Really nice shots and very pretty women! The last one is fun - but it's "Angels" not "Angles". I know because my son played a whole season of Little League with that spelled wrong on his uniform! :D

The uniform story is great! I guess spell check doesn't check for usage... :scratch
Thanks for the correction. Much appreciated!! Corrected above.

Great photos! I bet they appreciate them.

I think this last picture is a cool idea. You should have the ladies holding something that is office oriented (stapler, tape despenser, etc) or something that is specific to real estate.

Ha. I'm glad to see it was a misspelling. I thought it was a bad pun that I didn't really get so I didn't comment.

Some great shots. you obviously know what you are doing. #1 and #2 are really good. the pose in #3 doesn't work for me.

shach,

So sorry you have to work with such an photogenic group.

As to the poster, I relay like the idea, but one thing keeps taking attention away. What the heck is the center gal holding???

I think you should redo this shot and print it up large!!

Sam

PS: I bet they like the photos!

I'd trade your unphotogenic staff for mine any day! :D Excellent shots and love the poster idea. In photo #1, though, does she really have green in her hair or is that reflected?

#1 is a nice shot. Interesting you chose to burn in the right side and I guess that is lens flare in her hair. I think it would be better if you cloned out the flare.
#2 is excellent imo. Nice hairdo.
#3 is also nice. With her hair like that you should shoot the other side to minimize her forehead. She looks much better in #4 for instance, IMO.
Absolutely absolutely absolute re-do the Remax Angels! Great potential!

I really like #2. Nice lighting and great character.
The collage is fun, too, good PS work! :-)

Thanks for the comment jpl. We intended on shooting longer last night but the rain came...really hard too. They didn't want to stay. So when I went through the photos, I too didn't like #3 as much as some of the other girl's shots.

Thanks Sam. The center gal is holding a cell phone. The original "Charlie's Angels" the center girl was holding a large antennae walkie talkie. I like the idea of Bassett1976. I think I'll drop some items in this photo via Photoshop. As for the staff and employees here. There is a great bunch of folks. We work really well together and have some great personalities as well.


Hey Travis!
Thanks for the comment. I'm colorblind to subtle tones. I don't see the green in her hair. Sorry? I'll ask my kids. They still have good eyes.

Thanks for the comments on each photo. You are right about #3. I need to remember to stop and look "before" I take the photo. Where is my checklist of steps?

There is always an opening in real estate. When you can't get a job...you end up here! We have a fantastic office here, and it isn't about the scenic aesthetic views either. We sell 26+% of all the homes in our market. That is nearly 10% more than the next closest competitor. So...if you are up to it, come aboard! Just remember that the market is down 30% in units sold from last year.


Thanks Shepsmom! I appreciate the comment/complement!


Nikolai
Thank you! It was fun to watch the gals this morning as they looked at the photos for the first time. They were so "I'm so ugly and don't take good pictures" yesterday. To see them smile and show the other office staff was a nice payday for them and me.

These are great, Shach! It looks like the four you had a lot of fun. Fantastic images and a lovely group of ladies. I'd be willing to trade my coworkers for yours, too. (I work in a warehouse - all men! So, you can have them, even without a trade! :rofl)

You did a great job! Nothing beats proving to someone who thinks they are not photogenic that he/she is wrong. Love the Angels pic.
