Neat. Your getting the lighting down very well. What are you using for lighting?

Thank you for the kind words TCI focus on 3 lighting methods:

1 Ambient Light

A set up a black box with black or white   pin boards  and use ambient light from a N facing window so there is no direct sunlight, I play with the board arrangement and select from a range of looks

The puppy with a dark BG is low shutter speed against a black board

2. Flash - 1 600 Ex RT wireless - either bounced off the ceiling or here with the top horse,

I bounced off a card sitting low and reflecting up  for drama.

3. Light Painting

Use a dark area with a black BG and have at it - since the sensor averages illumination,

this method can work well with objects that have pesky specular highlights, or some other wonkiness that is making the shot look bad with the first 2 methods.
