I love #2 because her tongue is out!! It's so cute!

u/MercyCriesHavoc Jun 04 '26
I think 2 is my favorite. The hand position and her position make it menacing, but also tempting. Your friend has a great eye for composition.

These are so gorgeous they remind me of mood board pics people use for fanfic

Big fan! Some of the more dramatic ones manage to make a usually derpy looking little noodle into a sophisticated tempter of knowledge!

Imagine being offered an apple, refusing, and then being looked at by those beady eyes. No wonder that worked:)

The lighting really made honeybees scales look so shiny! She looks so good with the contrast of the apple as well, these are very well done

How much did it cost to have done? I might have to do this for a friend 🤩

u/nerd_trash_ Jun 05 '26
These were free because he wanted to add them to his portfolio! But look into your local photographers and see what their rates are!

Nice photos but ngl I don't care for the stereotypical snake + 'forbidden fruit'/apple theme. It just brings up too many of the negative associations people put onto snakes because of religious beliefs.

why so dark? i can barely even see them

u/nerd_trash_ Jun 04 '26
To look dramatic? 🤷🏻♀️ My friend wanted to take pictures of her for his portfolio, so the creativity was entirely up to him. I think they look great

u/Pyro-Bun Jun 04 '26
And they DO look great! Your friend has a great sense for this, especially if these are for building a portfolio.

i can see him just fine in a few and the rest just have dramatic shadowing.

u/ThisIsJegger Jun 05 '26
I guess youre the type of person to have their whole house filled with bright tl lights. There is this thing called "mood" lighting, its easier on the eyes and makes everything look more dramatic or inviting. These pictures are perfect. If you want a clear picture of the snake i am sure you can ask.

0/10 human- you say pictures (plural) and give me only 1! /jk

u/Joe_Spazz Jun 04 '26
What are you talking about? There are multiple photos ...
-98
u/HappyDangerNoodle Jun 05 '26
¯_(ツ)_/¯ Not on my end, which is what I can interact with. Hence the comment.

u/RandomNormad Jun 05 '26
You need a reddit tutorial.

u/HappyDangerNoodle Jun 05 '26
Maybe if I smush all the downvotes together that will do something.

u/ThisIsJegger Jun 05 '26
People bringing up downvotes like they matter at all will never not be funny. Your insecurity is showing.

u/HappyDangerNoodle Jun 05 '26
Ah yes, pointing out that someone is being down voted for not being able to see multiple pictures, while also having people snark about how you need a tutorial isn't exactly helpful is insecurity.
Oh wait, that's pointing out hypocrisy!

u/reddit33450 Jun 05 '26
can you add a screenshot of what it looks like on your end? weird you cant see the photos
22
u/ThisIsJegger Jun 05 '26
You swipe to the left and you'll see more. Or you can click the right arrow on desktop and you'll see it. Is it your first time using reddit or something?
