Nice work guys. Been sitting in a few model shoots my mates has been doing, it's pretty interesting work!

[siddr20]

ooh

when did you get some alienbees?

thats really well done sidd

every time i try to use one light like that, i always f**k it up and put it off to an angle too much and create a huge shadow on one side of their face LOL

Had it for a week and a bit now. Been meaning to buy them for more than a year.

I still havnt received half my gear yet (PLM, softbox etc). So that picture was with jsut a white umbrella. Then my stuipd cactus v4s didnt work for a bit, so couldnt use the other light. So in the end i used just one light source for 90% of the pics. But then the internal slave should have kicked in on the alien bees, but it didnt. Maybe im doing something wrong.

Anyways im in the process of building up a studio:

The backdrop is out only half way. I still got a few more meters in front.

Well still got lots to clean in the garage and make it look professional. Will get there soon

Testing out the beauty dish for the first time:

Will upload some more pics soon here:

Its hard work tho. Apart from lighting, you gotta make sure the makeup, the outfits, the location is all correct. Then gotta make sure the model can pose and interact with the camera propely.

But very rewarding when you get everything right in the end.

[Mr. Oizo]

yeah, i'm a student so i get half price

so it's well worth it for me to hire a studio rather than try organise outdoor stuff in winter

[FST513]

lol, i love how you say that with such confidence

That's because i know

Well Elinchrom - 17" or 27".

Alien Bee - 22" -

Speedotron - 22" -

Kacey Enterprises - 22" -

Profoto - 20.5" - Barely anyone you meet will be using profoto unless you meet pro's (way to exxy!)

Thats about all i can remember off the top of my head.

[Mr. Oizo]

lol ok

[MaTBoY]

composite from about 15 pics. THe car is filthy, the location is bland (front yard), the composition is stale.

This was more a technical excersise to see what I could do and how long it would take.

[Sl!m]

Nice shot Sl!m also!
