been absent a while, but back for more, I present to you...The marriage..

One of my models is getting married soon, and she wanted some shots before everything got hectic of her and her fiance. Went to a local college and shot in front of the church there, shots were all normal, but I decided to have a little fun and make things a little darker, dirtier, and moody, so I present the following shot for you all. please feel free to comment and critique it.

Data:

Nikon D200 w/ 24-85 lens

SB-600 below models chin, about 1 ft away and pointed up (hand held)

ISO 100

F4.5 @ 1/60 sec

Photoshop:

LucisArt filter

Burning to dirty clothes, enhance mouth lines

Nik Viveza used to create control points to darken background, arms, and brighten ring.

Here is the before shot:

I dunno, honestly I think the before shot is more flattering.

[SirEvan]

it wasn't supposed to be flattering, it's more supposed to convey a message about an alternative view on marriage, and state something such as "hey I got the rock, and I own him"...with a darker, dirtier feel to it than the traditional "angelic" wedding shots you are used to seeing...thats what it's rougher and not all pretty...like most of my shots.

I love how the little reflections of light came out in this one. Is it a pool?

Yeah it's my pool

The shadows really don't do justice on her face SirEvan, but the concept is good

[o0moonman0o]

lighting from the bottom up isnt too good.

I like the idea behind the shot. How the lady is "always in charge" in the marrige. However i think the heavy shadows on her face take away from the picture its self. If the flash were to be more direct i think it would have been more pleasing to the eye.

edit: I like the look of her in the original shot. I think if you were to tweak the background and him it would be a better picture.

I like the colours in this one, but it looks like you have a spot on your lens or sensor as there is something in the sky. You could easily clone it out with Photoshop though.

Great batch, saxondale!

nice shots pandya and sin-ergy... i usually love vignetting but that second shot of yours sin, it looks like the vignette washes out the pic and makes it too dark, in my opinion. Would have been really nice with bright colors. The other shots are awesome though.. love PEI scenery.
