Hi!

Hope somebody can help me a little bit. I love this type of pictures..... but I have no idea how to achieve it with my camera/photoshop editing (I have photoshop 7)... I am far from a specialist, but I am not that bad. So anybody can help be out?

zoom-studiophoto (please add a www before and a .com after to see the complete adress... It's not spam, but I want to show you what I mean...)

I love what this girl can do... Is it just a question of setting and luminosity... or adding some effect with photoshop?

I hope to have some answers! I only have a D3000 (Nikon) with a 18-55 mm lens , no additionnal flash.

Thanks in advance to anybody that can help me! :)

Hi Caroline,
This is the work of a full studio equipments, strobes, flashes, cameras and lenses, also the creativity of composition and posing. Hand in hand with a very good photoshop and post processing skills. All this is what makes the photographer.
I am afraid there is no quick recipe on how to get this done. From what I saw quickly on her site, she has good cameras and lenses, full studio, backgrounds, lighting equipments, computers that can take the load working and editing these pictures, softwares and tools and finally the business man/woman who can promote the work and get clients.

Not trying here by any chance to put you off, but bringing facts only.
You can start by the tutorial section at DPC, see how people achieve certain effects, build your composition and editing skills, then you can start learning how to light.
I would assume these are the first steps to start achieving these kind of pictures, or at least this is how I started.

I hope this helped, best of luck,

A lot of the effectiveness of these photos comes from the lighting. I'd start with perhaps looking at strobist ( //strobist.blogspot.com ). Simple lighting using flash. Start with using a single light and maybe a reflector. (Or heck just the reflector) and learn that. Maybe I should practice what I preach... :)
