jsmonet jsmonet Post Master Supreme Registered: 11/13/99 Posts: 156712 Loc: So. Cali	i mean, I could warp them skinny in ps, but i don't like them like that. so how do i shoot fat people to make them look less amorphous blob and more... not huge? it'll be at a wedding, unfortunately, but there must be a pose or 3 that can hide a few extra chins. I'll just touch up the really blobulous parts, naturally _________________________

The key is to NOT surround them with people who are drastically skinnier. Try to put them with people near their own size, and DON'T GET a side profile. _________________________ Ay yo girl, when you gonna let me tap that?

Cali	it won't be hard to not surround them with drastically skinnier people. they're fat, her family is fat, all their trash friends are fucking fat, and her mom is like orca fat. it's like someone took a 4:3 aspect ratio pic and stretched it to fit 16:9. I seriously want to vomit a little in my mouth whenever i'm around all of them. average weight is 3 bills, not tall. I'm not going to get away from the fat, but I need anglez to minimize the whale-ness _________________________

Cali	Originally Posted By: Lafora cameras don't lie. not your job to make them pretty $\:D$ it's their fat, let them deal with it. artfully stated, and said in this thread a couple times over. yeah, ya know what, i'm going to warp some extra chins onto them for the hell of it. might as well GET a shot that's i'd miss if i worried "does this anglez make me look orcafat?" body turned a bit, but not totally sideways seems to help a little _________________________
