    Mirror pics with props. =)

    Hey y'all it was cage cleaning day so I decided to take some pics. I wanted to practice the mirror technique with props. Hope y'all enjoy!

    FEMALES-
    Cybelle (poss. gs albino):

    Cleopatra (pastel):

    NOT PICTURED: Cersi (normal & in blue)

    MALES-
    Kronos (spider):

    Ra (reduced pattern albino):

    Jesse James (ghost):

    & last but not least...

    Wyatt (pied):

    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.

    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!

    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.
