More Halloweenish than Xmas... Witches at play

My girlfriend put her Halloween costume on for me... since I wanted to do some shots.

The cats even got in on the action... in the Kitty thread

so creepy! love the detail in the first and I think the grain looks good on the 2nd, not so much a fan of the 3rd image.

I can stalk bugs all day long...but I cannot stand to look at close-up pictures of eyeballs! :lmao: I don't know why, they just really creep me out. Normally, as soon as I see eyeballs up close like that, I just close the thread and don't return...but for you, I looked.


The first two, while definitely not *my* thing, seem very effectively creepy. I especially like the lighting and her expression in the second one. I gotta agree with the other comment on the third one though. It just doesn't really evoke any sort of emotion like the second one (well, the first one evokes emotion for me too, but it's repulsion--not because of the photo quality...just...eyeballs...YUCK!! :lmao: ). I think the angle she's standing doesn't really flatter her around the hip/waist area and the way the shinier top meets the flat black skirt seems to draw my eye to that spot.

Sharon,

Thanks for the comments! I was definitely after "CREEPY", lol! I see what you mean about that skirt... it is velvet, and sucks light up light crazy! I even had a third light on it... trying to make it show some detail. I may pop that shot into PS.. and see what Liquify can do on that waist (although normally I don't care for that process... it is dishonest!)

Better? (low res image, since the full size is at home)

...I was definitely after "CREEPY"...

Wouldn't it have been easier to just look in a mirror?

:greenpbl:

Nice work Charlie! I really like the second one, but I think the eyes might be just a little over-done?

I'd need at least one more beer until I could join that party.

She was really proud of that costume she put together.... first time she has EVER done something like this. She is normally pretty laidback and conservative... this is pretty wild for her!

Yeah, the liquify definitely helped. I still like the second shot much better, but I like the revised third shot more than I expected I would.
