I have tried, without much success, to convince my wife that any pictures of her that aren’t flattering are due to my inexperience as a photographer, not any inherent flaws in my subject (you can see a few pictures from before we got married here<\/a>; in my opinion she is hotter now than she was back then, but she won’t let me document that). In the past I studied glamor photography quite intently, I still remember a lot of the ‘tricks’ to getting the best out of a model and I see many of those ‘tricks’ when I see a lot of these before and after pics, so it is nice to see a few people document the power of posing and lighting.<\/p>\n

It is so easy to manipulate images _before_ Photoshop I think most people totally fail to appreciate the skills of a good photographer. Maybe these articles (and my tiny effort to promulgate them) will have some impact.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
