Help! lazy eye?

[AprilRamone]

Hello everyone,
I met with a couple a few weeks back and they have decided to hire me as their wedding photog. During our meeting I noticed that the gal seems to have a lazy eye (not sure if that's it exactly, but something is up with it). So, we're doing their engagement photos on Saturday and I thought I'd come here and see if anyone has some advice for doing portraits with someone whose eyes don't always cooperate! Thanks in advance!

Hope for the best in terms of timing.

1. Place that eye in the shadow side.
2. Do 3/4 shots or profile.

i agree with help, but atthe same time, i wouldnt alter it too much unless they ask. its a touchy subject for some poeple, and you wouldnt ewant to offend. chances are she has learned to live with it, so its not a big deal to her. and you want the portrait to represent who she is, not who you altered her to be.
at the same time, if its not a blatant alteration, it should be fine.

maybe im just reading too much into this subject.

My son has a lazy eye. When he has his photo is taken, he turns his head so the lazy eye points at the camera.



I don't know the serverity of your clients eye, but this might prove to be a non-issue.

Thanks for all of the advice you guys. I have a friend who has sort of a lazy eye and in her photographs it's always hit or miss on the timing. So I thought I might just see if there were any tricks that I hadn't heard of.
