Poster Holding

Delicate hold, bending the corners a bit. Good use of khaki shorts. Overall a good hold.

Another black and white hold, with bracelet. Almost looks like a template poster hold, as if they cut the hands out and placed them onto the graphic.

Originality! This artist has it, a true pioneer in new poster holding. I’m a big fan of the dirt under the fingernails, really makes me think he’s proud to display his work.

This in a series of three, (see below) has some great light blowing out the poster and a beautiful tree shadow darkening out even more. The pink flowers just pop in the sunlight and the pinched finger placement add a subtle urgency to this PG. A little more binder clips and leg are needed.

This is nice from the orange door to the blueish walls, down to the dirt floor and the blown out sky. But the lens flare on the left arm and ring on finger combine to make a truly unique PG. Throw in a couple of binder clips… and this is why pictures like this get on this site. It’s attention to the details people and the beauty is in the hold.

This one is interesting because the sun is shining right through the poster. In fact, the brick wall is brighter than the poster, easily diverting the viewers eye to the background then down the charm of this piece… the metal binder clips weighting down the poster. Lovely, clever.

Where do I begin. Distracting background, a framed photo, graphics on shirt, 80% of this picture is of the artist and background. If the poster was the size of just his head, then this could be the perfect storm of ingredients. I’m a huge fan of the lower hold, instead of the top corners. Well done sir.

This hold screams Art Director. The black shirt, hand blatantly cover the poster, to me it says “I’m going to change everything at the last minute, and I have no budget”.

Nice finger nail color. Is this poster being held in front of black poster board? I think this is the first time I’ve seen a PG like this.

I think I’ve found one that rivals another pinched corner hold. But the genius of this hold lies in the desaturation of the holder and full color of the poster. It’s as if the artist is telling us that he’s not here, and judging from the hold so close to the edges, I don’t he wants to be in the photo. Yet, we’re blessed with another great PG.
