I have attached an image of the pic that I am getting published in the next issue of Digital Camera magazine...just wanted opinions of what people thought about it....

nice. what light setup did you use?

a soft box?

 

[sammy39]

Thanks...Just one light to the right...fairly high up and close to the model, bounced off an umbrella....and that was it!

 

[JanieDough]

nice! I've been wanting to experiment with some lightboxes now that I have a digital camera, but the last time I took one out I broke the bulb and the backup bulb. It wasn't a good start

I need to get new bulbs and go again though.

My friend has been doing this kind of thing - and he has gotten freaking awesome - we used to be in the same class.

His stuff is at http://www.sharperphotography.net/

EDIT - look under his Fashion section. Reminds me of your pic

Nice photo!!! I really like it. It almost has kind of an Alice in Wonderland type vibe, IMO. Very nice.

poor girl was freezing that day! and the costume designer handed up a little crap of material and buggered off. was a fun day. The images look great. but you know that dont you!

 

[sammy39]

i like that.. i dunno why. jon doesnt like it either.i think u 2 are in tune...
its not the best youve taken. and maybe if it were to stand in your portfolio it might be one of the weakest. but i like it on its own. somehting about it.

 

[sammy39]

Hmmm...yeh.. i see what ppl mean about it...but I still dont like it!

I did something similar yesterday, dark part of the woods, photographic umbrella and one flash. OK, one shot was with a reflector, but it came out as if it was dark at all. All the other photographers were struggling to get good photos

 

[sammy39]

lol...yup...its amazing what u can achieve with just a reflector!
