Different...

..for me at least. I've been playing around with a lot of different lighting setups. Just thought I'd share some recent stuff...

Thanks for looking.

Great work.

I really like the lighting in the first one. I love how her right eye has just a touch of light. I don't like her hand in the frame though. With this crop, it almost looks like a rouge hand.

Very nice! The first one is my favorite!

You're work is really nice.

I really like the lighting in #1..can you give us some technical information on that?

RowmyF · Apr 4, 2008

Hey - I just wanted to say I looked at your site & your work is really, really great.

#2 is my personal favorite! Great work on all of them! It is different for you, but it's good!

Very nice, indeed.

The last two leave me wanting. I think it's the posing (or lack of)... and choice of clothing too. They just don't approach the same level of care you gave the first four.

Pretty sweet stuff! Nice to see split lighting (no 1) and broad lighting (no 4) used effectively. And... a profile (no 2) to boot! Great variety!

Wow, these are awesome! I especially LOVE that second shot. Can you describe your set up for that one pretty please?

Also, what were you using for your outdoor evening light?

And now for my little nit-picks

In #1, I really love the lighting, but I would prefer just a tiny touch more light on the shadow side. This is more personal preference than anything. I do love that you can see the glint in her shadow eye though.
Just curious, what is she holding in the 3rd one?
I love the background in the 4th one.
On the last two, I really dig the lighting, but not fond of the backgrounds. My eye is also drawn to his crotch in that last and I'm thinking it's not just because he's cute lol
