People Being the backup-backup photographer

Being the backup-backup photographer · 05:51 PM

Since the bride got the real photographer, I decided to do the groomsmen getting ready. It's tough to play with mirrors and make sure you're not in the shot. Here's a few "highlights".

Let me know what you guys think.

What a nice idea! I'm sure the newlyweds will enjoy adding these to their collection.

Out of those, the third had an off camera strobe. The bathroom was one mirror light, and I lucked out as it had a skylight.

Feel free to poke around the gallery. I have different developments of all the photos, as seems common.

What a gentleman in the last shot!

Last one is a perfect portrait.

Thanks. There were a couple outdoor ones that turned out great. I liked this one, too, but the focus is on the wrong eye.

Here are a few with the strobe. First time playing with one.
