So it was YOU who shot Rae for this - you lucky, lucky man! She is gorgeous! I've seen her at a few game release events, and she's hard to keep your eyes off..

^ think i have seen her on model mayhem. Love that last shot in black and white.

nice one matt, was that two streetlights or strobes? strobe from the front? give us some strobist info!

and damn sidd, awesome work! love that last shot too, the rim lighting gives it so much kick!

i also like the one above it. did you get that effect from lighting or in PP?

Lighting. Its pretty much straight out of the camera. I hardly do PP work.

That photo was taken at 2.30am lol. Was a very very very very long wedding day. Thanks man

hahah nice No doubt you will be doing some awesome light painting shots in here.

[Jay019]

not really, the floor is rotten so moving around is a bit risky

[siddr20]

Thats a bummer

Just looking thru my modelmayhem inbox and I was actually trying to hit up a shoot with Rae few months ago, but she got busy with TV shows or something. Great model.. Keen to see more

Also did you forget to clone out the gird box in the first pic?

Haha Nick - I can understand why, she is very pretty. Very fun too. She was awesome to work with.

Sidd - she is constantly on the move with her line of work, which is pretty awesome for her.

The strip light is definitely supposed to be in the photo. Without the light, it has a completely different feel to the photo. I wanted the 'shes crazy ass killer so put her in some special high tech FBI jail' look

any chance you could give a quick run down of lights used and the angles/power settings?

love HDR with car reflections

The goal was to use only 1 strip soft box - which also fired on capture... so it was strobe and constant.

In the first and the last photo, the light is directly above her. Slightly behind her as well.

The second photo is to her left of course, bottom of the strip was around her waste almost looking down (Center of the box is the most bright). Also had a white board on her right side for that touch of bounce.

F9 at low power settings and all shots were taken at 1/125 iso100.

Loving that last photo sidd

Patty that first fog shot is great as well man, like your framing for that one too

Thanks Richie, do u mean the framing for the lanterns in market city or the fog one?

they feel like the runts of the litter compared to some of the awesome pro stuff going in here, thinking maybe to kick off an amateur/total noob photos thread? love the helicopter shots matt, Z tune is my dream car too. Dont think i will ever afford the real deal but definitely will be looking for the body kit one day.

oh and Rich..if you ever need an 'assistant' when your doing a shot with that model (or any model) my hand is up!

[FST513]

Damn, there is some rad sh!t happening in here! You've all progressed a lot. Good work fellas

The fog one - it's awesome mate.

You will need to hit up matt and sidd to help out with their model shoots. Sydney is quite a distance away haha.

Rae has gotten back to me with a few more photos she wanted...

I really liked the colour on her face. I felt she was looking up at something which words couldn't describe. So I wanted to show that more... The above image, cropped:

And finally... something a little more feminine

All the photos we decided on + the blog article can be found on my website:
