Akari Desire

Noc (Steve) and I had a fun studio shoot on Monday with Akari Desire (aka Jade).

Here's a couple of mine with a behind-the-scenes shot. Hopefully Steve will add to the thread too! All comments welcome!

Thanks for looking.

This first one was lit with a white 30cm beauty dish very close to Jade:

This one was using a HiLite as a huge softbox:

I had a lot of fun and had a superb introduction into how to use light. Thanks for the mentoring Phil.

All shot using a Pentax DA 18-135 kit lens.

'Twas a pleasure and you got some good shots there! The negative space on the last one looks slightly brown on my monitor - might want a tweak!

Here's a seamless one:

To get this I had a Hilite with vinyl floor. Two lights into the Hilite measuring f/16 off the background, two lights hitting the join between the vinyl and the Hilite @ f/11 and the key light was f/8. Worked reasonably well - perhaps the floor lights were a tad strong as I got a little 'wrap' on her lower legs.
