Pin-Up style pics of my wife :O

lol, nothing too racy. I've been wanting to practice some shots with my new DIY beauty dish and my wife actually had a photo shoot with a makeup artist today so I took advantage when she got home. Threw her in the kitchen

I know the editing might not be what others would do, but I wanted the heavy vignette/vintage look to the image. If any of you strobist have any comments on my lighting, it'd be GREATLY appreciated. It was my first true chance at shooting with my beauty dish, so it was a challenge. I really wish and can't wait to get a second/third strobe soon. It would have cut down on a lot of my shadowing.

Thanks for looking

These are great. I like the harsh contrasts, and I like your edits. What is the benefit of a beauty dish?

An empty muffin pan? I bet it's not even warm. Tisk, tisk, tisk.

Fun looking shoot. :thumbsup:

I love the colors, vignetting can be a bit softer though.

Oh, you're a lucky man!

I love 'em. Nicely captured.

Also, if I may offer a critique of a non-photographic nature: your wife is hot.

3 and 4 are my favorites. Nice legs, erm, shots I mean!

Nice sets, I like the vintage look but I would tone down the contrast and also add a little of grain in it.

Has anyone else noticed the shadow on the wall in #2? Serendipity at its finest.

I had s joke, but it might be too far.

You cut off the muffin thingy in one of the shots

Edit: no you didn't, iPhone not showing its entire width...

Have you tried a B&W conversion on any of these? Could be fun.

I love these! They're fantastic. I'm laughing because I've been dying to do a vintage over the top kitchen shoot. Not exactly like this but still (think Anne Taintor style)

3 and 5 should say "oops! Make your own damn muffins."

and of course your wife is gorgeous.
