(I forgot to re-sharpen these after shrinking them down for the web, I'm not going to bother, too much work, use your imagination ;))

Nice series... What's with the last "shot" though?

whoa! surprised his wife agreed to the last one. sure hope that was a prop.

nice pics tho, my coworker did a maternity shoot and he looked gay as hell in all the pics (usually acts like a toughguy at work), but in your pics they look playful and seem to be having fun with it

the pictures are sex.

Well, I'm pretty sure sex was involved somehow

wow that lost shot. wtf. i wouldnt let that happen if i was the wife lol. nice set, for BW pics, u need to light a littled differently. Not so much even lighting, think of 'film noir'. More contrast. Other wise the images look like desaturated normal images giving a sense of boring flatness rather than the moody romantic feel associated with true BW pics.

No, no... You have sex first, then you wait few months, and then you take the pics.

The last shot was my idea, but they ran with it, they're a fun couple. They took turns with the gun, in various disturbing poses, I actually felt kinda wrong taking some of them haha. I chose that one because I liked the fact that his tattoo said evil on his knuckles, makes sense =)

I like 18. :)

nice shots man. The B/W works well in these photos.

Would you have a link to some examples? Not quite sure I am understanding you.

I'm not really at the point where I can adapt my lighting for colour vs. b+w
I did try a few different snoots/flags/foamcore reflectors, but its all home-made experimental stuff.
