Great Idea! LOL. I have two submissions. There first of which is all me:
<assumes snobby voice) Yes, as an artist, I feel that the black bass in black case really highlights, well...pretty much nothing, and really brings out...well, pretty much nothing (except maybe the neck). lol What a pointless shot...and I think I may know why this bass hasn't sold yet!
The next entrys, I think your wife will really like and I have my pop to thank. You see, my dad is an aspiring photographer and he recently shelled out a grand on a pro lighting setup, although he hasn't quite figured out how to use it.
He used me and my basses as a test subject, and if you're into photography you will probably laugh a little bit at his noobish attempts at backlighting. Here is one me and my AC LG5 floating in the void of space, directly in front of a black hole:
(edit)
Me to dad: "Dad, where did my shoulders go?"
Dad to stepmom: "Did you turn on the backlight?"
lol...at least my pants look good in this shot.
And here is one where it's pretty obvious that the backdrop is an un-ironed bed sheet that was pulled from the closet minutes before the "shoot". :
Granted, the backgrounds aren't hideous couches. But, if you know anything about photography, I think you will agree that they qualify as "Beautiful Bass, Horrible Background"!
