Interesting concept, but I think I would like the picture much more without the lamp in front.

I actually like this, it's an interesting idea. A little less lamp I think would be better.

I liked this shot the best of the series because it was the only that had proper lighting. As this was a first attempt i have no studio style lighting so it was all house lamps and such. That will be the next investment after i replace the telephoto. Thanks for the comments.

I like the lamps in the photo, but I might have moved to the right and not get the pole in. The lamp heads look good. Pretty model

Good looking light. Good expression, good framing, pretty lady, lousy lamp.

I agree, I'd like to see the lamp moved a little to the left too..

Beautiful model!
I agree with previous posters about the lamp. Interesting idea, but the lamp needs to be moved to the left or at least straightened. And , I think, this lamp is pretty hot. So if your model can stand a heat, I'd suggest getting some cheap Home Depot lights to practice with before you invested in real studio lights.(that's what I did) You can det very good results with them. Believe me, your opinion in what studio lights you need will be changing many times

hey, i have that same ikea lamp!!!

yeah I have to agree with the other posts.... it comes so close to working but the vertical bar is a little distracting.... that said, she is a stunning model and you have capture her very nicely...

I agree about moving the lamp.But I like the lamp in the photo,it seems to draw my eyes to her face.The model is stunning!

So just get some spot lights from home depot?
