I'm dying to know if this is a somewhat new gown, or someone's 80s gown you got at Goodwill (do they have those in Canada??).

I'm digging the Vanity Fair shoot and the construction shoot. Vanity Fair shoot shot with a strobe and modifier of some sort? Like Umbrella? Or you have a really nice window next to the couch.

1st one works really well.
It begs to have her on some vintage furniture and IMO would finish off the already really good shot nicely.

Deb, there are Goodwill's in Canada. Never actually found any wedding dresses there. (none worth shooting at least)
Craigslist is really good for finding deals.
I am going to assume it's an older dress, and the shoulder fluff suggests it.
Most modern Gothic gowns don't have the fluffy shoulders...

I could be wrong :S
Cheers,
Dan

Dude -- they have some of the ugliest wedding dresses ever at our goodwills here. I should know - I've been commissioned by family members to drop some off! Yeah, the shoulder fluff is screaming 80s.

They look awsome!

So were you trying to give your gf a hint by having her pose in a wedding dress?

They look great, especially the first few. Lighting on the vanity, moody, red, and couch shots are phenomenal. My criticism would be on the last one. I'm guessing you're going for the urban look, but for me, the tones on her face seems off. For some reason, it seems like the top right part of her face had more highlight when comparing the rest of the image. Just my .02.

LOVE numbers 1,3 and COUCH SHOT!!!!!

The second apple looks too "sweet" to me.

They're all so good, though! Your best on FM, for sure!

And as to the value of the dress... seems a bit on the cool side... 4300

Get it VALUE White Balance? Color TEMPERATURE

Okay... okay...

I lol'ed. Woke up my kitten on my lap who, as it is, just underwent a very demasculating operation (not by my hand). Way to go!

The couch shot is the one! I love it! The rest are great but the couch shot sticks out in my mind far above the rest, it's just really great! I am going with Deb on the got it from Goodwill assumption... Are we right??

Jeremy,
2 & 3 processing looks awesome, 2 being my favorite! I wish her hands were actually touching each other or something like that on 3.

nice pictures. i like the vanity fair one and the APPLE ones most, especially the first apple one. its like a real subtle cross processed look to me with the greens and yellows but the other colors look nice and vivid. i think you were just messing around but im not feeling the couch shot too much. it makes me think 'half woman/half couch'

Goodwill is the first thing I thought of when I saw the dress. Lots of wrinkles, so I'm going with 29.99.

Beautiful work BTW, Jeremy. I like the toning experiment, not too red here.

1-3 are the cat's meow. i think 2 would look better with some background blur, though.

about the apple shots, i think they're fair, and the idea is great, but i think the execution was a bit wanting.

I like the last one the best, Jeremy. Can't look past the "specialness" of the dress, though. Yikes!

Funny, my wife was like, I wonder how much, and I was like, no, he's referring to the color temp!! She corrected me and I was wrong.

So what was the "Price" of the dress?

Thank you all for the comments - dress is durrrty cheap (but brand new a few THOUSAND dollars! ) Big shoulders are the new hotness, just you wait!

This post has been a great eye opener to what I perceive to be good and what others find good versus not so good. It's a bit unnerving, actually, because though I created the images, I can't see what the majority find as 'the best' ones versus not. Everyone, sincerely, thanks for your opinions, they are valued!!

I like the moody, apple, and especially the snapshot on the couch. Toning not so much...
