Cool Dentist


Who says the photo of your dentist has to be boring. One 24x24" light box and a light to wash the background a bit for separation an a long lens...Dr Smith was a great subject and a poster boy for "You don't need boring shots of you just because you're in the medical field." Two lights. Simple.

Cheers!

Retro


For some time, I have been wanting to put up another retro car shot. Had the opportunity to work with Zoya, another (Russian) ballerina. Kollage Yarns here in Birmingham supplied the sweater twin set...Jennifer Spanick did the make up, and the weather cooperated.

Two lights; one main, one adding the edge in the background. 250/sec @ f5.6 ISO 200

Still doing them simply...

Cheers!

Beauty made simple




All those folks that know me are aware that I am a big beauty shot lover. I also love keeping it simple. Of course, if the face is Sabrina Sikora, then you could probably light her with a mag light and get great results.

Anyway...here is Jennifer Spanick applying the final touch and the final (but unretouched) image (the two large ones).

For the beauty shot, the brolly was prob 2.5 feet from Sabrinas' face. The background for the beauty shot was an 8x10 foot black duvateen fabric.

Cheers!
