Those are really great shots! Nice details on the model and the sun in the background.

that makes me want to get some grey seamless

no soft lighting in this one :O
lighting set up was a e640 up about 12 feet with a 20` grid on it, a few feet in front of the model.

thanks! yeah it was a lot of fun they were ecstatic, paid well above what I quoted them which is always nice.

Grey seamless is tricky, if you have enough studio space you do not really need it unless you want a shadow on a background and still deep grey, cause if you have the space to put 15 feet or so between your subject and a white seamless background, you can make pure white turn to black and anything in between with just different power settings on strobes and lighting techniques, however when space is a huge factor like it is for me (I have MAYBE 6 feet between model and the background where I'm shooting) then grey seamless is a very nice option to have! I suggest it!
