Unwilling Participants

Uploaded: August 17, 2004

Description

Trying to practice my lighting technique. I thought perhaps other aspiring portrait photographers would find this a familiar scene. Not everyone has this kind of modeling talent at their ready disposal. I guess you get what you pay for. So...was it worth the PS work of removing a distracting background, touching up blemishes and whitening their teeth? Something tells me that in the years to come it will seem so!

Way too funny! Just because you have people around the house to practice on, doesn't mean you'll always get what you are looking for!! #717524
