Failed Promotional Shots

Over the past few years, we’ve had to take promotional shots for various reasons. As it turns out, the camera, the lighting, and composing the shot are the easy parts. Getting me to take a serious picture is the REAL challenge. I was just digging through some old shots and thought you might find it funny to see just a small sample of our “failed” promotional shots. I have no shame.

    omg…my newly healing surgery wounds are pissed at you cause of the LOL I just did. So funny :D Nicole- you got a hot mess of a catch on your hands!

  5. kosta says:

    I can see why some of those failed lol

  6. Shawn says:

    The serious shot of you leaning on the table might have worked if you had been wearing a sleeveless t-shirt.

  7. Kevin says:

    Funny stuff. I like #5, and #7 because they could almost be serious. I’m one for subtlety in comedy.

  8. kentuckybill says:

    Dude, I printed out image 6 and made a poster for my shop wall. Is that wrong?

  9. Peik says:

    Haha, flames? :D

  10. Marty says:

    Dude, are you SURE you like girls?

  11. Brian says:

    I think the shirt says it all :D

  12. Jim Jones says:

    Hey, if I had a free, custom, jacked-up, turbo-charged and tricked-out Powermatic like that, I’d be giddy too!! Drooool.

  13. Marc! Cheryl says picture #6 should be of you NAKED! I mean, how much pride could you possibly have left. I like the “nerd” one myself.

  14. bbordeau says:

    One word – Sassy!

  15. John Conklin says:

    MAN!!! I love those shots… stuck a bunch all over the lawn and the moles are GONE!!! lol

    Great sense of humor guys.

  16. CcntMnky says:

    Your big thumbs-up is now by laptop background!

  17. Critterman says:

    Hey, not so sure about the poses, but the shirt was juuuusssst right. LOL

  18. Scott says:

    So, ah, like which ones were the “failed” ones, eh?

  19. Kevin says:

    I noticed you have the cast-iron legs and the blanchard ground top on your saw. I thought you had the standard black legs on there. Or was the the old saw?

  20. Denny says:

    My teenage daughter was looking over my shoulder and she squealed when photo #6 was displayed. She said “He’s cute, I like that picture!”
    (Nicole, you better keep a tight hold on Marc’s leash! LOL)

  21. Claude Stewart says:

    I agree with Brian

  22. Erick says:

    Frightening on so many levels !!

  23. Terry says:

    All I thought of when I looked at picture #6 was I bet that outfeed table won’t work well at that height.

  24. Patrick says:

    I don’t know about Marc the poser (although those are some sweet moves) but that is one Wicked Cool paint job on that tablesaw. I think generally in advertising the model is supposed to be prettier than the machine.

  25. Lory says:

    Nice costume change for the last shot!!
