My Lovely Bride:
Joesphine Wai-chi Wong

Title	My lovely wife, Joesphine Wai-chi Wong
Location	Glendale, Arizona
Date	12.12.1998
Equipment	Nikon 200 mm and Cokin sunsoft filter
Note	In a conventional front view portrait, a clear view is preferable and therefore the shadow on the bride's face is minimized by placing the bride under direct sunlight. Usually an Asian subject having black hair and wearing white clothing runs a risk of producing a highly contrast photo in which the white area loses detail. However, for my bride I deliberately overexposed the white area to create an "angelic look".

Title	My mystical wife
Location	Glendale, Arizona
Date	12.12.1998
Equipment	Nikon 200 mm and Cokin sunsoft filter
Note	A portrait with closed eyes and tilted-down head is unconventional. This posture gives a relaxing and also a "mystical" feel. To enhance the mystical feel, I didn't use a flash in order to leave the shadow on the bride's face.

Title	My sweet wife
Location	Glendale, Arizona
Date	12.12.1998
Equipment	Nikon 200 mm
Note	The approach of taking this picture is similar to that of the previous one except that the bride further tilted down her head and a very thin veil covered her face in order to intensify the mystical feel.
