    All great, but #1 is even a step above the rest. Love to see more.

    Thank you for the kind words. The session was for a hat designer.

    Here's a peek at the studio. I'll work on a lighting diagram for the above images.

    All of the above images used a variation of this setup. The addition of a snooted strobe was added to help further separate Laurean's head from the background for the black on black shots.

    In the studio wide shot you can see that the BG and hairlight are mounted about 11 feet above the set. Using the softboxes to feather and separate the subject for the white on white shots required pulling out the ringlight and placing it on the floor to fill the lower half of the models.

    Another studio shot.

    I've been called a lot of things (including Ray) but modest usually ain't one of'em. Thanks.
