Watch Photography: Behind the Scenes & Outtakes

Key Points from the Discussion

• Many collectors delete their 'faux pas' photos to save memory and erase evidence of their less successful attempts, making it challenging to contribute to such a thread.
• Despite deleting most 'disasters,' some inexplicably survive, prompting contributors to question their own photographic judgment.
• The humor in 'outtake' photos often comes from the bizarre and unrelated juxtapositions of watches with other objects, sometimes even when the photographer was sober.
• The original author, cazalea, shares additional examples of their own 'outtake' photos, including a series with Omegas and a stoneware mask, and a brass icon with a Glashütte Original.
• The discussion highlights the cultural origins of some props, such as the garden gnome, which originated in Gräfenroda, Germany, adding an unexpected layer of context to the photographic choices.
