A Few Photos of the Wife

Billhyco · Oct 9, 2011

My wife had ask me to take some photos before the big day and I agreed of course. We ended up with a couple hours of shooting but she had a great time as did I. Nikon D90 mostly with my Nikon 50mm 1.8 and a couple with my Tamron 90mm. As always CC is welcomed, how else would I improve.... thanks

i know you were going for high key on most of these, but i think they're just too bright

specifically #'s 2 & 5

I like number 2 and thats saying alot because I typically do not like maternity photography. The one of the feet is cute too. I like you processing on that one best.

seems maternity photos are not well received on this forum, and not sure why. either way.... hard not to be cheesy but cheesy is what all the moms and moms to be love. i am quite suspect of my monitor and how well it displays lights/darks. I often find my photos to be quite a bit more bright on other screens compared to mine. I am on my work monitor right now and they seem about the same as how I processed them. Thanks for the info, please keep it coming.

1 and 2 look over-exposed, but reasonably well-composed and sensitively handled poses. #1 is pretty solid in my book...although over-exposed, the positioning of her in the frame is quite good. #2, although a bit cliche, is still good. #3 and #5 are weak compositions. #4, with the feet, has a wry humor about it that I like. Technical choices aside, tyou have three pretty solid shots--MUCH better conceived than many maternity sets I've seen done by non-pro shooters (with pros meaning SKILLED but not-for-money shooters, as well as people who regularly earn money from shooting pics).
