Show us your setup and the final result!

Wow. Agree with xpfloyd ^^^
Great light but your model is fantastic!
Really well done by both of you.

Testing of making my own ring light. Shot only using a $7 fluorescent light bulb. Hand held it and shot through the center.

Picked up an aquarium when I was getting some puppy food the other day just to play around a little. Wanted to replicate some shots I have seen. Need to tweak the setup a little since I had to do some touch up. Obviously the ones with the white background I used a white board and not black.

Great job! Where did you get the ring light and what was your background?

The rings reflecting in her eyes are trippy...

Yeah I though that was cool, might have to do a comparison deal with different balls. At least I know what my shanks look like on entry now.

Some of the work here is so inspiring.

I'm looking forward to using some of the information learned to help improve my photography. 8)

Very cool shots! I think you should try catching yourself dunking your head. It could be an epic shot!

I was actually thinking about it. Aquarium is a little small but my noggin just might fit......maybe I can talk my wife into it. LOL

She did say I couldn't drop the dogs in it (definitely a tight fit)

The light is just a 16" daylight balanced circline fluorescent bulb I purchased from Menards. The background consists of a pvc frame and I have regular and led icicle light wrapped around it.

Here is what my background rig looks like
