    Super nice to me. I also like that reflective floor. Adds alot of dimension. Just curious, what type of BG is that, it matches the floor so nicely. Thanks.

    Good job, I would say " a detailed girl " thumb.gifthumb. It is always nice to see when people put time and effort in a shoot.
    I also would like to know the background and floor covering, is it one of those cornerless plastic based posing platforms ?

    Thanks everybody! Sounds like I'm on the right track which is good to know. I often fall in love with my shots when I see 'em only to discover a ton of little details that I could not see objectively. I'm sure I'm not alone in that phenomenon.

    BG is a simple white seamless with a shiny white board on the floor. I used multiple speedlights to blow it out. I snapped a couple of quick pullbacks just now. Now it's time to put the living room back together. :uhoh

    Love the photo!

    Like your house and the ceiling height you have to work with. I shoot in the lower level with 7'-0" ceiling. Can be tough at times but you make what you have work.

    A knock out, both the lady and the shot. Love the clarity and how vibrant the colors. Wonder what it would look like if main was shortlighting her from the left. Anyhow......yowsa!!!!

    Thanks, Glenn. Yeah, I'm fortunate to have a space like this. It's a combined living/dining room area that we rarely use. I'd love to commandeer it permanently but the wife isn't completely sold on the idea yet. ne_nau.gif

    WOW dude. You're absolutely knocking these out of the park. And I'm not blowing smoke up your ass when I say that. Love these. The lighting and processing is killer.

    Thanks, Mike! I'm not sure why I picked that first shot to process first. There are definitely better ones to come.

    Thank you, sir. Glad you enjoyed the setups.

    Thanks, man. High praise indeed. bowdown.gif

    My Home Depot didn't seem to have the right stuff any more. This is 1/8" glossy white panel board from Lowes.
