Day 4

This is Day 4.

Today seemed like it drug on forever. Four day weekend starts now though so that is spectacular. Worked for a few hours and then went for a movie night at my friend Iman's house. I have been wanting to experiment with some more dramatic lighting and I have also wanted to do a smoking picture so I knocked out two birds with one stone with this one. I'm pretty happy with my results.

smoking hot.. love the lighting on this

you will find the more you study you will conclude this for dramtic lighting

1. backlighting , back light anything will ways look good
2. find reflective surfaces to shine light off.. (csi miami always has wet grounds for the reflections..)
3. snoot or grid your lighting..

that is my 2 cents

nice use of the light.
Not my kind of picture, maybe that why I do like it.

Yeah I definitely need to figure out a way to either make my own grids or buy a few because that would definitely be helpful

Oh, come on, Phamster. You know your advice is worth at least a nickel around here. Don't undervalue yourself.

While I am not a big fan smoking shots, you pulled this off rather well. It's moody and dramatic and that makes it work.
