Park Shin Hye and Jang Geun Seok for the Winter 2011 Codes Combine Collection

The first pictorial for the Winter 2011 collection of Codes Combine are out, and the spokescouple for the brand (since the Fall collection) are the reunited Jang Geun Seok and Park Shin Hye since their You’re Beautiful days. I do like these pictures, but can’t help but wish they were better. The dead looking Wintry background looks fake, and the pictures don’t pop at all. Seok and Shin Hye are posing, but I don’t feel like either they or the clothes are shown to their best advantage. Which is a shame, because they always look great together and are very talented print models. Sexy Shin Hye may be my favorite look of hers, and I breathed a sigh of relief to see Seok looking so normal and masculine again.

I’m glad that Seok looks less petulant for this season’s pictures than the ones from the previous season. While I find he pulls off the emo-boy look very well in many a drama, I still think selling clothes requires conveying the feeling that he’s happy wearing it.

I love Shin Hye’s outfit (with the cute leather half gloves, natch), but her entire presence looks sadly washed out. Not sure if the color of these pictures are just adjusted wrong, but she has this slightly waxy aura. Her hair is gorgeous but the makeup artist needs to get sacked.

  • Not feeling the pics even if I do like the outfits. I mean, the colors are off and their complexion, especially Park Shin-hye's, is washed out. They're soooo pale, omg! I feel like feeding them, possibly driving them to the doctor and making sure they're alright. Heh.

    The make up artist needs to be fired, no question, but the photographer/whoever could have retouched these pics and didn't do that? Needs to be fired as well imho

  • The lighting director is the one that needs to get the axe. I understand that they were going for a "winter" feel, but there are ways, and then there are ways to pull that off. Eek. I don't think I've ever seen worse lighting for a photo shoot.

  • They look like cute, expensively dressed zombies. They'd be excessively polite, too. "All we want to do is eat your brains," they'd say. "We're not unreasonable. I mean, no one's going to eat your eyes."

    Also, JGS hair is a thing of beauty.

  • oh geez talk about photoshopping gone to hell - or in this case, to the dead of winter.

    i saw the interview that JKS and PSH did whilst shooting these pictorials, i was so giddy to see them back together, and i thought, they look pretty good & healthy (albeit a bit tired!). the make-up seemed just the right amount to enhance their features without making it look to fake. if you know what i mean. and then these pics come out?? oh dear. what the heck happened?

    in any case i'm still a fan of them, just hoping nxt time they wont go overboard with the photoshopping etc, and just let their natural good looks shine!!! it's usually more than enough!

    ps. thanks Koala for posting! even if the pics are a bit off kilter, they're still such treats! :)

  • I honestly.dont care how the pics turned out, I'm just glad JGS looks like his normal self especially after the horror that was his styling for his Japanese concert...and thank heavens for his new hair style..why the hell can't he look like this for all his public appearances
