Marie: Portrait of a grandmother

Friday, December 4th, 2009

I can post a picture of my wife Marie before we met and of her now and it’s easy to see that she’s aged very little. Is she older? Sure. Is she more mature? Absolutely. Has she aged? Hmm, not much.

She has three kids — 25, 24, and 22 plus one granddaughter who is 3. Take a look and let me know how many grandmothers look this good. Ok, so I’m biased.

Lighting is one key light at 1/4 power sitting at 4 o’clock camera right with a fill light behind the model lighting the background. Camera set to Manual mode at f/8 and 1/250th. Shot with my Canon 85mm f/1.8 prime lens. Standard eye and teeth work and skin softening in Lightroom.
