Niki Lacy on not quite seamless white

Bilsen

My newest model find is Niki Lacy from upstate New York.

For those who don't like the line between the BKG and the floor, I'm sory but it is intentional. I wanted to vary the look a bit but still play with lighting the white seamless.

Heh, you do realize I'm sure that its only "seamless" if you can't see the seam. The mismatch between the white of the bg vs. the white of the floor and the paper being rolled the wrong way... Well you see what I'm saying

Anyway, that being said, #2 is my pick of the bunch.

Edit: oops just saw the "not quite" part of your title.

Thanks Dread. You do realize that's the reason for the "not quite" in the title of this thread?? It's also why I said in the opening that this is the look I wanted. Of course YMMV.

By the way, the paper is rolled correctly (over the top, not under it). When we do bring it out for a true seamless shoot, the surface tension holds it toward the floor instead of curling it up.

Thanks again.

Busy shooting Its a good start but two things come to my mind when looking at your shots.

1. The background and ignoring the title, is not seamless, which causes a distracting line between the backdrop paper and the ground. Why not just rolling off the paper and let the model stand on it.

2. The light is very flat, and that makes the pictures far less interesting . Why not trying out different light techniques. It will make the pictures so much more appealing.

Thanks D3.

As I said in the opening, I wanted to try this separation out and see what happened with that line. Actually, I like it but I fully understand why the more traditional view would call it a negative. I have had a blast this winter experimenting and playing around with lights, bkgs and stuff in the studio but not everything works for everybody ( many times including me ).

Also, perhaps I'm missing the concept but how is this light flat. I see light and shadow differentials on her face and body in these images. Do I have the definition wrong?

It may be that I'm just too stupid to hide my "mistakes".

Anyway, thanks again.
