Thank you
Hi Kim,
Thanks for your help. I do understand that it's best to get farther back to avoid that 'fisheye' type distortion that I get some of. Problem is that my little 'studio', where the walls are painted the perfect color!, is just not big enough to get far enough back to do this properly. Darn. I was hoping there was a magical lens out there. Well, not magical, but close. I guess I'll be moving my models into the living room. I do have a huge foamcore board that I painted the same color as my studio and a bunch of background clothes that I can drape for a background.
I did actually do a little experimenting in my living room with a model and found some of the same problem though. When I take photos the heads look small and the bodies look large. I've been staring at people in grocery stores, at the movie theater, and indeed, some people do have little pin heads. I paint from life once a week and those models look just fine, but they're usually sitting. Now I'm trying to do some standing models. Maybe this is one reason they look like pinheads. This is another reason to paint from life, but as you know, that can't always be done.
Thanks again for your help. I enjoy seeing your beautiful artwork on the forum!
