Well, considering I 'Normally' do darker photography and stuff, I wanted to get some opinions on some newer clean images.







Thanks in advance. I will return comment on your work (-;

really cool poses ... my only suggestion is to use a reflector to soften the shadow under the hat ... great work, you should try 'clean' more often ;)

Thanks for the comments. To tell the truth the shadow was completely intentional for that image. I think it adds a bit of mystery. Afterall the cowboy hat is worn to shadow the eyes from the sun. L()L

Thanks again. (-;

VERY nice! Would you mind posting a lighting setup on those last two? :D

My first thought was, "YEE HAW!" ;)

Those look fantastic! I worked at a high-end senior photography studio for five years, those were the pictures that sold the best. The bright, upbeat ones. Our photographers always did a few dark, artsy ones, but the parents wouldn't buy them. So from a client perspective, those are absolutely amazing. I do love how you included the bright and upbeat with artsy too! Kudos!

Yes these shots are very different from what you normally do, but you still nailed it! These are fantastic!

Fantastical or not, it sure is educational :) From the photo I would have guessed the light behind the backdrop on that blue silhouette one. :) Thank you SOSOSOSOSOSOSOSOSOOOO much!

My Pleasure. The reason for putting the light in front is to get that hot spot and the gradual falloff that darkens. I am sure it can be done from behind, but might need to use a higher setting to go through the backdrop. Also you need the extra room behind L()L. Its not on there but I am guessing about 6' from backdrop I had the blue gel light.
