Default compensating for height discrepancy?
Kind of an odd question... I'm shooting a couple later this week and the problem is that the woman is VERY tall and pretty large and the gentleman is VERY short and sort of scrawny... honestly I'm afraid I'll be making some fairly comical shots if I can't come up with some creative ways to equalize them. I'm planning on having them sitting for a lot of the shots, or her sitting and him standing, and keeping him closer to the camera, but I'd be happy for any other suggestions!

Also, is there anyone else on this forum who lives in the Denver, Colorado area?

She sits, he stands!

Or maybe do some forced perspective. <- I was just kidding there but actually it could work, couldn't it?

I'm looking for a variety of things, including photographer buddies (I just moved to Denver 3 weeks ago) and I'd love to find a Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8 VR lens to rent/borrow for a few days. Anyone in Denver feel free to give me a shout!

I'll post some pics of the shoot to this thread for the person who said they wanted to see them.

Ahh ok. I'm down in the Springs. If you ever head down this way let me know and I can round up a group of photographers in no time to just wander around taking pics.
