Here's a lovely set of photographs from Michael Neff. Chalk outlines around shadows. Lovely. Really good. Just sat there waiting to get ripped off by an ad agency...

A good idea anyway.

Ben,
Lovely photos. You are so right, though. It has already been done in an ad campaign. This is a video from an online campaign for the GAP called sound of color. The graffiti artist in this case is Ellis G. Still a beautiful idea.

I've done more or less exactly that as a self-initiated project for my degree last year..

Thanks for the link Ben. Check out my site as well, it has a few images that aren't on Flickr: www.michaelneff.com.

great idea...i think it will make fascinating graphics when the shadows dont fall.

i like neff better. the outlines are similar (if not the same concept) but neff takes it with the photography.
