I did a shoot with my wife last night. This is probably my favorite shot of the night. This is actually one of those photos that I will probably end up with a large print of.

50mm f/1.8 1/125 iso 400

Hate to tell you this, but that picture creeps me out. Looks like it came off of a domestic violence website...

Figured you were going for a mood like this when your watermark is "sinful images." I was thinking this looked like a great shot for any substance abuse theme.

Straightening...lol. Every time I straighten the horizon, I hang the picture crooked.

Actually a lot of my photos will have messed up themes. I like dark dreary style art.

I think the wall is a tad blown out. I like the style, maybe add just a tad more contrast or recovery light to help perhaps?

I like the machete photo, but I really do not like the one with the pistol. This goes against my years of firearms training in so many ways. Although if you are trying to shock the viewer, then mission accomplished

Thats what we were going for. The weapon was not loaded and double checked. By myself and my wife (who is in the photos). So no worries.

Glad you liked the photos though.

you definitely have a knack for these kind of images. Can't wait to see more.

Thanks. I am pretty sure that it stems from my love of horror films. lol

I agree with everyone above. They are disturbing but interesting. Unless it's the look you're trying to obtain, you could have a bit more highlight detail and the lower two seem to need some color correction. I agree with DragonDan on the improper use of firearms, be very careful my friend. I do think you're achieving your desired results, particularly on the lower two.

The lower two I made the color look that way. I was going to for a post apocalypse type deal. So I got rid of the warm tones and blue skies. It actually didnt take long to achieve the color effects I was going for. I did most of it in light room 2 and a little bit in cs3.
