Post your best wife shots

Don't take this the wrong way... the first one looks like a cutout. Did you mask her and play in PS ?

The second one needs softer lighting (more direct lighting in relation to the camera). Of course this is just my opinion and I do not pretend I know what I am doing. The left side of her face is too dark, imo. If she had a somber/serious expression, then it would work.

Didnt notice it that much until you mentioned it. But i basically duplicated the layer did my editing layer masked it and paint brushed/airbrushed the image to try and blend the corrections in. I cant really afford PS so I use gimp. I try to take PS tutorials and make them work in gimp. easier said then done.

The second photo was the first time using the DIY soft box. I had no idea where to start with placement so I just guessed. I made a few different diffusion layers so i can try a heavier one to try to soften the light.


I am thinking I may just make a thread on this so i dont clog up this one with chatter.

No problem. Personally I think the first image is not salvageable (context of best wife pictures).

As for the second. I am sure your next attempts will be much better. Think, less harsh, lights at less angle to the subject relative to the camera. My wife would have shot me

One of these days we'll do a real shoot, this was just a quick shot before we walked out the door for a graduation ceremony.

Thats a great photo!

How many wives do you have? I thought California only allowed one (at a time).

I know....I think two or three would be perfect though
