|  | | | 21 pics, I know its a lot. Kind of a new thing for me, subjects that move, myself being the male subject. Trying to figure out the whole bounce flash thing. Tripod mounted, Canon 20d, 10-22 efs, 580ex, tc80n3 (timer, cable release, intervalometer). I composed and focused, set the timer, and let it click off one every 5 seconds (the ones with me in it anyways). Hope you like, and please help me out with any advice. I know its my bad on 4-6, my lens hood was improperly twisted. Oh well.

| | | | you need help
other than that, i just don't like them
if you posted only "the couple" i would have been satisfied
it's the only one that really stands out, at all
the windows kill it, sadly
film would have been a better choice for this set

| | | | I like alone-together-3, though the man (you!  ) in it ruins the mood, but it's better than #1 in that the bride doesn't appear to be giggling, but solemn. The interior shots don't do much for me though.

No need to apologise for having an opinion Turkey ;)
Especially not on the Critiques board!
I'm not a fan either to be honest. Technicalities aside, I don't hate them, I don't think they are particularly sick, tasteless or shocking, but neither did I think any one was amazing or captivating and that's why I'm not a fan, they didn't really provoke a reaction.
Cheers,

| | | | Cool, thanks for the opinions, at least I got some reactions. My laptop just got stolen this morning, so Im glad I at least posted these somewhere, cause all my processed images from the last year were on it. My advice to you: BACK IT UP.

| | | | Sorry about the laptop. The rest well... um... why? Therapy for real life experience, hope it helped. If not then I am not sure how to finish this thought.
A mirage is not an optical illusion. It is a real phenomenon, and one can take photographs of it. The interpretation of the image, however, is up to the fantasy of the human mind.

| | | | i can't believe no one but me liked the guy in the straight jacket !
well probably because i just received a straight jacket in the mail today, from the infamous bainbridge island prison. closed down and recently undergoing demolition. it's about 70+yrs old too  i'm lookin forward to taking some pix of people in it.
as far as the girl and the miscarriage goes... that's truly distasteful and i doubt you've ever had yer own kids. if you did, you wouldnt consider doing such a thing.
i do however agree, the shots are underexposed and your angles are weak.
sorry to hear about your laptop, this should be reason enuff to take all new ones ! try using a higher ISO, like if you shot these @ 400, try 800. unfortunately the higher the ISO, the more digital noise, so bracketing might be just thing using different ISO's . good luck
cheers !

| | | | Im sorry I just dont get these?
What are you trying to say??
"I live in a shack and eat my own dead children"?? Or possibly more to the point "I need to get out into the real world more"??
If its meant to shock you fell way off the mark, if its meant to be distastefull, congratulations you made me go eugh for 2 seconds before i rolled my eyes!!......
and if you wanted it to be thought provoking..... its not.

| | | | sorry but I'm going to have to agree with the others, i don't really see an artistic statement here. Just an attempt to be shocking for no particular reason, which wasnt pulled off well.

| | | | I have kids
I had a miscarriage
I find a level of amusement and merit in these pics
no need to be so puritanical
firstly the ugly bride is really funny
the "I should have listened to mother "at the end with obviously manly legs is a good pic
"my stomach hurts " is good too
I'd lose the titles and maybe have suggestive words photoshoped in pale floating sizes of fonts
the narrative is lacking and not direct enough
in most of the shots the characters are just standing there smoking or looking dramatic
thats not good enough
black and white makes it look a bit old school goth
if that's what you are going for..push it further
I'd use colour to jack up the gore level and maybe over saturate the colours of red and green
the cross dressing bride makes me not able to take this seriously and yet its laid out with what seems to be a fair bit of seriousness
so either go more tongue in cheek and up the dry sick wit or go serious
I would have picked a hot chick
selected larger more open areas from perhaps multiple locations
and maybe even used a creepy doll as the baby
but come on, you can come up with a cooler story than that
I don't know why a few posts ago the self-portrait of a murder scene is any less sick than a miscarriage scene
both are violent and address the horrors of life and death
some people need to address these subjects with humour in order to broach them at all (and they should be)
others hit you over the head with directness and disconcert the viewer
I think this is a really strong gusty direction and you should continue to explore it
if I can leav eyou with any advice it is "go big or go home"
I'd encourage trying a sequence in colour...comparing the mood between black and white and the colour versions
you might be surprised
alternately jacking up the antiqued effect of a black and white image would be cool, and distressing/putting scratches into the negative, superimposing other images on top would be wonderful
try something more simple: a triptych of photos, rely less on the titles of each photo and more on your content..make your models work
those photos should speak for themselves
lastly, consider selective colour...bright red blood spots ona distressed black and white image
