Vignette


Motofish's shooting style is a combination of things: funk, flava, flare, and old-school wholesomeness.


One common aspect to the whole Motofish experience is the vignette. If you're not familiar with vignetting, its an old-school process used to bring the eyes in towards the subject. Edges of the picture in the darkroom days were "burned in" creating an archival look and feel.

Both Chris & Greg mingle their love for digital precision with dinosaur-era techniques.
For instance, you might look at one of their pictures, love it, but can't put your finger on why!

Aside from a unique angle, its likely the eye pleasing vignette-effect that gotcha.
Vignetting is storming the commercial photography field as of late. Wedding photographers, portrait shooters and many other fields are latching on, the more things change, the more they stay the same!
