Operation Marry Mom Off continues--

Feb. 10th, 2008 at 10:18 PM

Mom asked me over to take a few photos of her for her profile. They turned out pretty well! A little photo manipulation on a few of them, but overall, some good shots. No-one in my family is photogenic, and it gets much worse when we're actually posing for a photo, so these are out of about 50 shots...

Anyway, that's what my mother looks like, so there.

Current Mood: artistic

They look really nice! I hate the last two because it looks overly posed and stiff. She looks relaxed with the dog (omg, cute dog) or even with a lampshade on her head, and she's smiling in those, so they're more striking and beautiful.

Remember: Even the "photogenic" celebrities on magazine covers get 50 frames to hit the perfect pose. Or more.

Yeah, she wanted something in a bit of a glamour dress and pose, and the photograph that was the best of that particular batch was kind of blurry, so I "fixed" it with a few artsy photoshop effects. But, yes, it's pretty posed.

None of us look good when we smile for the camera. So a lot of these were, "okay, on three, one [click!]"...

Oh, you tricksy little person, you. I'm definitely going to try that on people I know.

The other day my friend Jack wanted some "model-esque" photos, but he kept giggling (bit drunk, heh), so my friend yelled, "Jack! Think about something serious! GENOCIDE!" That was an interesting photo. Apparently genocide doesn't strike a somber attitude in him.
