SirEvan Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 (edited) 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: Edited July 19, 2008 by SirEvan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prince Charming Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 I dunno, honestly I think the before shot is more flattering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirEvan Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 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.

PT 13 Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 ...I love how the little reflections of light came out in this one. Is it a pool? Yeah it's my pool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aperture Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 The shadows really don't do justice on her face SirEvan, but the concept is good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
o0moonman0o Posted July 19, 2008 Author Share Posted July 19, 2008 lighting from the bottom up isnt too good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodcase Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spacey Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sin-ergy Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 (edited) damn dude. i like the second one so much i stuck it as my wallpaper. beautiful shot! here's a few from PEI trip back in June. Edited July 22, 2008 by sin-ergy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubbabyte Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
