My first studio images of ...

[Adria]

I would love to take such a class, my lighting knowledge is pretty poor.

I own and have read this book:

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1584281251/qid=1119712991/sr=8-3/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i1_xgl14/103-2996210-3515852?v=glance&s=books&n=507846

...and found it very helpful, with good diagrams and pictures, although I have admittedly not tried the strobe techniques (just with multiple speedlights).

Congrats, David, you're really building up your repetoire!

... that you recommended shall be on my shortlist of reading material to look at. Photography was easy when I first started out - it's gonna be uphill for me from here now that I want to do the "serious" stuff

Hi David,

I'm from Kuala Lumpur and interested to attend that similar class that you attended. Could you provide me with some info please (eg how can I register myself for the class) ? Thank you.

cheers,
Meng Soon

 

[David Chin]

... I who should be seeking tips from you - I'm just now beginning to experience what the various light modifiers do - you knew this a long time ago.

Thanks for the kind words!

Though I agree that the original is a tad dark, I think this one is a tad too bright. Something in between?
grt,
Alex

Thanks David, glad you like them. Keep up the great work!

.... different opinion as to where "something in between" should lie

Thanks for the comment, Aex!

The originals look great to me and the reworked ones look washed out but I am not sure if my monitor is calibrated properly.

 

[KS Chew]

Would like to know the location, cost, requirements etc.

Thanks.

Try one of these:

They are just simple pages but are usefull for setting the brightness right.

Great first shots David. I'd love to give something like this a try. Thanks for sharing these.

Oh, the second picture doesn't seem to be working for me at the moment... I'd like to see the low key shot.

Cheers,

John

... models, no less

Fun, isn't it?

Mine are mostly nudes and glamour, so I can't post many examples here, but a couple I can:





The, er, less-clothed ones can be found here:
http://www.benlovejoy.com/photography/photos/people/alison/

And I also had a go at some FHM-style glamour shots here:
http://www.benlovejoy.com/photography/photos/people/nicola/

These images were shot RAW, Daylight 0 WB, 1/250s at f10, ISO200

Assuming there was no ambient light, then the shutter speed is of course irrelevant - something that was very obvious once it was pointed out to me.

I use Flash WB for studio strobes, and that seems to work well.

That facial expression is just a bit ... strange! Half-nervous or something.

I'm also not sure about the hair-style generally, and the way the hair falls over her left eye means the dark eye and shadow from the hair all merge together in a slightly odd way.
