glitter/fated - jacket 'making of' shots from max's blog

truehappiness · #1 16th August 2008, 08:59 PM

I'm sure these were posted at AHS before, but I don't really recall where.. so.. they're gonna go here.

I still don't get why this photoshoot didn't come out as well as it should've. It looked like a gorgeous idea.

I hope that the alternate cover in the A COMPLETE photobook looks nice.

the people on the side make it look like a spa hehe
i've always loved glitter/fated pictures, i really want to see some of the unreleased covers! they probably have a lot

I think the shots could have come out a lot better than they did.
The covers could have been so gorgeous... and it ended up looking kind of cheap (in my opinion)

Thanks for re-posting, nice to see them again =)

I think they just chose a really bad way to style her hair and have her pose..

Like, I totally understand why they blurred everything out like crazy in the background, but the way that the photos were taken [like the way the light hit her..] was just bad. I'd have liked a less wet-headed Ayu and a more "I just went in for a dip.." Ayu with some amazing gorgeous hairstyle than some wet mop-like do, you know?

i would've love if they took pics of ayu swimming underwater, and her dress flowing all over the place

I've always thought on how a pic like that would look.^_^

I like this pics, and the Glitter/Fated cover art is great! Better than the other releases off Guilty

omg, she looks like a divine there!

These making of pictures look really nice. I agree with wanting a picture of Ayu underwater with her dress flowing, that would be great~

I dont think the pictures for the single look bad!!!!

Maybe they could have looked greater but they did not look bad to me.Then again I do have weird taste. ?????

Sweet_Ai · #12 17th August 2008, 08:05 AM

^No, you're not the only one! I loved the cover! I like looking at these pictures!

ownsarai · #13 17th August 2008, 08:25 AM

I loved the covers also! I just want to see an underwater picture.

I loooove the last pic. That one, the face, the pose looks more real then the real covers. But like truehapiness says, Im veeery curious about how the alternative cover in the photobook will look like. ^^

the real covers don't look as good as these. They tend to overdo them and it makes them look fake.

LOL @ the 1st pic ( there's one fatty plump there ;X ) lol.
but nice pics eh~

AyuHamasaki01 · #17 18th August 2008, 11:00 AM

The photos look really awesome!
I like her pose in the 2nd picture.

Chibi_Venus · #18 19th August 2008, 01:40 AM

I always loved how the first picture was so out-of-place. Like, the whole single photoshoot is the beautiful horizon that is Hong Kong, and then you see a guy with an Apple laptop.

And in the second picture... Is that a full moon? It looks like it could be a light, but the antenna underneath it looks out-of-proportion to the moon-looking object.

I think the third picture is gorgeous.

About the 1st photo: Guy with a Mac = ND CHOW, who photographed the entire shoot. Generally, Ayu's photographers use Macs to display the photos that were just taken to show her and etc.

2nd photo, it could be a moon, but usually the moon's light doesn't have that blue shine to it.. it's usually yellowish..

I've never seen photographers use PCs.

While I do like the covers, the lighting was horrible. It appeared kinda fake looking, like the background was just a green screen or wallpaper and ayu was lit up way too much. The off shots capture much more of the mood there than the actual covers.

Btw, the "moon" is a lamp for the photo shoot.
