All the photos were taken in a light tent, sorry for the crappy editing, I'm using an app on my phone. Props include: Crystal Ball, Rock & Republic Stilettos & a Pink Sequin Santa Hat. :)

Beautiful shots! my only tweek might be to have your friend/boyfriend put a black shirt on and hold the light a little different ;) I can see him in some of the glass ball pictures :D

I know right. I missed his reflection... Good eye, I bet you are great @ Where's Waldo. Lol.

Lol maybe its because I used to spend entirely too much time playing hidden object games...who knows :P

They really are beautiful shots though, I wish I had half the camera skills you do!

Very cool i like how the mirror pics look alot makes me wanna get a real clean mirror

Good attempt! Next time you might want to check your photoshopping job though, I can see outlines where you blackened the shots in almost every single one. It's a time consuming job!

Cool technique. Nice pics!

Yeah, I'd increase your feathering on your brush when you drop the exposure around the subject so that you don't produce such hard edges. You may also want to consider getting a faster shutter speed going (more light), a lot of the head movements made the images have fuzzy details to them taking away from the image. Then again I'm a hard core pixel peeper . . . Cheers

Yeah unfortunately I've been using my phone (SLR is broken) for both photography & editing & it may not be showing on my phone as far as the colors go... I've been using the "picsart" app for blackening the edges. Like I said though... This was just playing around. Practice makes perfect. :P

Don't have a photo shop app on my phone with the "lasso" crop effect so I've had to just use a paintbrush in a crappy app. Lol.

Very cool pictures! The glass ball looks really cool with the pied!

I like the snakes. Not sure about the ball for a prop though. :)

Just didn't care for the way the light reflected in it. To me, it seemed to distract from the snake.
