So there's a lot going on here, which is not necessarily a bad thing. The reason I'm not wild about this spread is the models, not the seizure inducing backgrounds. I think if the background is loud and crazy, the models should be doing so much more than standing there looking bored. There's no life in any of the photos from the models, which is a shame because the cloth in the back is so full of life. If I had been on set, I would have the models do exaggerated poses and faces, just to add to the fun of the editorial. They're not interacting with the backgrounds in any way, they're not interacting with the photographer in any way...it's all just boring. The set can't do all the work! If you want an insane patterned backdrop, then dress the models in insane clashing prints, it makes sense for them to act insane too. It's a shame this crazy and colorful setting ended up producing dull pictures.
