>>4343998I am a total beginner and just recently decided to take up photography mostly in order to take pics of my family so that I can show my kids how they grew up etc. People have been talking about the size of your (i assume) wife, and I don't know if you want to make her appear less fat, but if this is your goal, you could maybe try to take pictures of her through a lens with a shorter focal length. I don't know if it works, but the faces of regular sized people start to look like fish faces, so maybe these lenses could visually compensate some obesity. But as I said, I don't know if you want to do that or whether this works, but if you try that out, please tell me.
