Using MULTIPLE strobes - creative examples - post yours!

I think those mechanical equipment above is competing with your subject.
Horizons tilted too.
I think you need to light inside the vehicle and under too.
And find a way to get rid of that massive shadow.

I agree about the massive shadow for sure, I have no large modifiers or strobes to fill them so bare was essentially my only option which caused damn defined shadows unfortunately... it was a good learning experience for sure...

as for te distracting mechanical equipment, I agree that it is a bit distracting but I'm not yet sure if I prefer it cropped in closer as I was intentionally going for the wide angle perspective.

I think pointing the strobes down will solve 90% of that.

^yea for sure, needs that light a bit higher and more downward.

new one I shot earlier today:

^^ Nice Garrett.

yeah I was going to say, no photographer putting out images that look anywhere NEAR that good is using a plugin like that.... the fact is there is no "one step" skin retouch, you spend the time needed on the images that are worth it... end of story

thanks for the subtle compliment in there
