Pin-Up style pics of my wife :O

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

Thanks. A beauty dish is another flash modifier. It creates a softer light (softer shadows), wraps around subject (when placed correctly), and pretty excellent catchlights.

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


Fun looking shoot. :thumbsup:

I know you usually shoot with multiple lights, but do you have any thoughts on how my lighting turned out? I know you're a bit familiar with the strobist world. Is this the best I could have done with single strobe?

Really woulda' helped...

...maybe next time?

lol, would have totally helped. I even told her about the empty muffin pan looking a bit ridiculous, but it's what she wanted. If we actually had the time, I would have definitely set something up, but it was a bit impromptu and had to get her before she got too tired (since she had been shooting for 6 hours before that lol)

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

I haven't, but I might give it a shot. I might also take an above suggestion, along with yours, and add some grain to it.

She is super cute

Thanks! and to all those other guys who said the same. Yes, I'm a very lucky guy

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.

I had to look up the Anne Taintor style, very cool. You should definitely give it a shot!

#4 is the best...where she belongs...good husband...you trained her well...

lol, I told her I wanted her in the Kitchen where she belongs, when I introduced the idea. She had a good laugh, she's got a good sense of humor

And really about #4? Is the pose peculiar or do you think the lighting is flat?
