This will sound cliched and quite stupid, but...
...if you spend enough time staring at something, you kinda get a feeling for it's 'essence'. Look at it from every angle, understand what its unique properties are, and with practice the shots compose themselves. All you need to do is get the technical details right like lighting, focus, exposure etc.

Wednesday Madness: How deep is your love?
Well you know is coming but this time I'll refrain from writing many words. I'm here just to show you the pictures. My intention is to lure you to get one before it's too late. Why? That I don't have to answer you but I'll say it anyway. "Cool people like...

PM me the link.. also..can I get permission to use some as desktop background? awesome...
Thanks.
Of course you can. If you prefer I can send you the highres one without the annoying "T.Bean" watermark. Just PM your contact.;-) Regards Tyler
Wow! I wish I could take such photos!
Extremely nice. I wish... how could I.... anyway, please give your photographer friend my (our) thanks. Wow... Ken
Uber cool photos!
And, in the meantime, Tyler, thanks for the sleepless night I am about to enjoy thinking about these charming and alluring DSA's. Thanks for sharing, Alex
Impressive series of pictures, Tyler.
For the moment, I'm deliciously stciking to my Vintage European DSA, and yes, I'm very proud of this super uber cool watch. I'm impressed by this series of very cool and qualitative pictures, Tyler. The photographer captured, at the perfection, the spirit...
Thanks. Now I have a secret weapon to torment you all
I'll have Ming supply me with these crazily beautiful photo of all the watches available to us Wish you good times on you trip Regards Tyler
Let's say I'm preparing my weapons, for my return... :)
Be warned, my friend, I already took 300 pics, and I still have two weeks to spend in Italy... If you see what I mean... Best, Nicolas.
I don't know how to begin to compliment. But this is very interesting photography...
...and lighting. I especially like how you twist the straps on some of the pics. Ruckdee
Simply stunning
This is like a visual poem to these watches - you can feel the love for them coming off the photo's. The photgrapher is a magician - I have long admired his pics BTW. Is he a friend?
That's the word I'm searching for, Magician... of light:)
Yes he's a friend, a rather talented one. I shall keep on pimping him for more photo of my watch so we all get to enjoy. Regards Tyler
How fantastic
A brilliant combination then - your watches and his camera. I'd love to see more.
WOW!
OK, I will also give you a OMG! This is the best set of photos I have seen of the TT DSA! Thank you so much for sharing these with us, Ti-Bomb! Best Blomman
gorgeous!
but, because of the title of your, now I have the Bee Gees drolling in my head! congrats! J
The title is cheesy but hey cheesy tend to be catchy too
In the case of these DSAs is easy to fall in love with them. Best Tyler
Insanely gorgeous pictorial...
I saw these pics and read the article, and damn, homeboy's got skills behind the lens (the article did flub a couple of points on the DSA, but so be it). Alas, if only I could own both. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the DSA American, but sometimes, late at n...
Hehehe ... 1 is a lonely number ...
but for me .... I'm just plain greedy I can't make up my mind so ... I took the easy way out, painful(shorterm) but easy ... ... Best Tyler
gorgeous pics...
... which can't stop me keep viewing these pics again and again especially i like this DSA US very much! thanks for bringing this up to our attention. stefan
Thanks Stefan. Glad that Ming can help out on the photo
As for the DSA, are you considering I'll have more photo as long as Ming keep taking them. (it will take me at twice as long and the result will suck) Regards Tyler
Wow...
I'm speechless! These photos are simple incredible! Thank you for sharing them! C
Thanks :) and to know it only take Ming little effort to get them.
Life is sometimes so unfair. I get that feeling a lot especially when I see you photo :p Best Tyler
Just beautiful Tyler
Hello Ty, how are you, Just got my TT DSA recently, thanks to my JLC brothers, so we got another pair of TT DSA in this purist. so I guess we are cool people with cool watch : ))))) lol best my friend, and thanks for sharing BTW, can I save it on my compu...
Thanks Eddy.
Sure you can Nice to hear from you. I'll have Ming, the photographer do more shoot of other watches. Thanks again for the hospitality. Regards Tyler
I'm going to come out of the woodwork to claim responsibility...
...for these and the other photos Tyler has been posting recently. He's been feeding me with so many watches I barely have enough time to shoot and edit everything, let alone post! I've been on hiatus for the past few years due to the day job...I see some...
Ming Thein, the photographer is in da house!
Since you're here. Would you be so kind to share with us how you came up the idea to capture the TT DSA in there particular way. Regards Tyler
This will sound cliched and quite stupid, but...

Very well said: Catching the spirit, the essence of a watch...
That is what makes some beautiful pics! Very well said. Best, Nicolas.
You, sir, are a genuis with the camera...
If I didn't already own one, I'd be on the phone with the boutique right now. Regards, Adam
I must be one of the new ones, too.
...and let me say "welcome back!". I hope to see more of your photos whenever possible. I do own Nikon and 105VR (and more), but can never take such great watch photos. Would love to learn some. Happy to see you here. Best, Ken
Thanks Ken. Nikon here too...
D700, 60/2.8 and some speedlights. More to come (Tyler, I need more watches). Ming
I have the same equipment...
... but I know that equipment itself is not enough!!!! Oh, well... Would love to learn. Ken
Hehehe ...
Beware of what you wish for .... Guys you all heard that. He said he need more watches! That's official. We'll have more outstanding photo Best Tyler
... ... so is gonna be like that huh...
Soon my soon ... I have some priorities this year. 2012 will be good. See you soon Regards Tyler
Huge congratulations for these pics, Ming. Thanks for your message.
And I do hope that you will find the time to go and see us more often, here. All the best. Nicolas.
Welcome home, Ming ...
Wonderful to see and read your contributions here again. Hope you can hang out again with us. And if you keep taking photos like that, I'll be shipping my entire collection over to you! Regards Andrew
Truly outstanding photos Tyler.
Espcially for such a difficult watch to photograph with the black dial and plexi. You've done justice to these watches and I think you summed it up perfectly. They are COOL watches. I tried both on this week. More to follow...
Incredible photos, Tyler!!!
I have to resist the urge to get the European version (I already have the American). This just makes it so hard.....
I can almost hear the other DSA weeping at the corner of the store thinking about the brother that went home with you.
If the reason is not unreasonable ... you can have a little family reunion for your DSA American ... ... only if the held back are not unreasonable:-P Best Tyler
An ode to the DSA's .. Perfectly caught Pas de Deux ! .. Absolutely mesmerizing
Chapeau to the owner but especially to the photographer ! .. Stunning ballet .. You also made me even more impatient for my US- DSA to arrive as well ( next to the EU, which I happily cherish), - no word from the JLC Boutique yet - it appears most of the ...
Thanks hs. These pair are indeed belong together :)
I would pray for you so you can get your DSA sooner. Regards Tyler
Stunning...
Very very very nice pictures. Probably among the best I ever see of watches. Very graphic too. Congratulations and also for the watches.
I especially like...
The one with the 2 backs reflecting each other. And I especially like the european DSA... but it's another story.
Wow.. Wow... Wow!!!
Fantastic shot of a fantastic duo! Thanks for sharing those awesome pics. Cheers
