I took this pic (this is the postedit) of my girlfriend to give to her mother for xmas. i think it's a nice portrait for a mother to have of her daughter. i think that it makes her look pretty and that it would make her mother happy to look at.

my girlfriend disagreed. she insisted that i delete it, and when i refused, she screamed at me, insulted me, turned over the coffee table with drinks and my computer on it, flipped over the sofa chair, threw the kitchen sink floor mat at me, beat me while i covered my head with my hands (my right arm hurts from where she kicked me) and tried to rip the swiveling view window off of my powershot S3. she told me that i 'dont understand her and never will' and she packed her bags and left. i have been cutting myself and drinking vodka since. and smoking in the house, which is two huge no-nos. we quit, and we never smoked in the house even when we were smokers.

and i don't want any sympathy. i just wanted to say: "and you guys thought that YOU were harsh critics."

Holy shit!

Although, in her defense, that is kind of a crappy picture.

i know, but it's the best of the bunch. she wouldn't sit still while i set up the shot. she wanted to do it in the 5 minutes before she went to work.

i only actually took 5 shots before she started saying that it was 'boring' and 'we only need one'

oops, tripcoded for ID.

additionally, she wouldnt change into something nice and insisted that i shoot her in her hoodie. i wanted to get a set of her in front of the backdrop, and some with her sitting in the chair (the one she threw) in front of it, and some with our tree.

sympathy? on 4chan?

hilarious!

and that's a lousy photo. that's one step up from a mugshot or a driver's license photo, only because you included the curtain.

but it's christmas and i don't want to be a dickhead (there's too much bullshit on /p/ right now). protip for portraits of your (future) girlfriend: 3/4 angle (don't let the tip of her nose extend past the side of her face), soft light, long lens.

and photoshop. lots and lots of photoshop. girls spend hours and hours every week covering up their numberous imperfections with makeup; they're going to expect you to do the same with your camera.

i know dude. i kept asking her to turn and she asked why.

i wanted her to sit in a chair facing 90 degrees to my right and look at me a little in front of the backdrop with her arms folded on the chair arm. she wouldn't have it.

She looks like a crazy woman and your post only furthers that perception. Her eyes look like "I AM A CRAZY WOMAN AND WILL EAT YOUR INTESTINES."

This really doesn't seem suitable for a "happy holidays" type gift.

Just my opinion.

Dude, she tried to rip the swivel-LCD off the S3? Man, that's what makes the S3 AWESOME!

If she left you, just email that to her mom. And the rest of her family. Friends too.

She was being unreasonable, but you should've deleted it, because this is not an acceptable picture, even if it's the best of the bunch.
Sorry she left you, though.

I'm hoping you're joking.

and your lighting is too bright; it isn't the most flattering photo of her.
>> Warren !WSxruxpIJs
So no, this isn't the most flattering portrait in the world, but if it elicited that kind of response it seems to indicate that the greater problem rests with the girl. That's really fucked up.

She left you eh? Revenge time.

no, no joke. i just woke up from my vodka induced nap calling her name. i woke myself up yelling it.

she never let me shoot her nude. even if she did, she deleted all the pics i have of her before she left while i was shaking and crying in the corner.

Post! POST! Do it, faggot!

Never had a model nearly that bad. Worst I have is girls occasionally dodging from shots. Which mostly just makes me try harder to get shots of them... Which is really kinda creepy, and I've been trying not to do that.

(This girl actually was quite enjoying having her picture taken, and is using this shot as her profile picture on Facebook now. But I'm posting it to illustrate the sort of dodging that girls do sometimes)

You do need to register, but it's not like that's hard. Uploading is very easy though.

and OP your gf looks pretty scary in that pic ~.~

I like when that happens.

I was very sad when I snapped this pic and heard that 1/6th shutter speed, 'cause I knew it would be an awesome and unrepeatable scene and I knew it would be blurred all to hell. Sigh.
