Hi all-

Can anyone tell me how this lighting effect is achieved:

The tonality in her B/W work is the same in every photo. Is this Photoshop or a special lighting technique?

Thanks in advance to all!

Welcome to the forum.

I had a look at her photos...they are very good. I don't think there is anything like special effects going on though. They are well exposed, maybe purposely a bit on the bright side. They have very nice contrast and they are very sharp.

The light looks very soft. I would assume that she's using softboxes on studio lights.

There is nothing special about her lighting, she is just using a large lightsource as Big Mike says. She though does it very nicely. By the way, is "BIKE MIKE" really BIG.

Thanks for the responses. I have been trying to imitate her lighting technique, to no avail...yet. One day, one day...
