I had set things up to take a few shots for a project, but before I got started Joleen decided she wanted to take a few photos of her Cow cupcakes from The Suisse Shop (the best bakery in Columbus) before I got my shots in....
...you know your average home snapshot, complete with off camera strobes, light meters, remote cables, tripods and backdrops, you know the average home photo, ha! (said very tounge in cheek)

In the summer of 2009, I held a series of studio photography workshops. In one of the last ones, a member (Marsha E.) brought her husband - along with his bag of authentic pioneer woodsman clothes, the offer of his services as model - and his fully functional flintlock rifle. O - WOW.
How could we refuse? After a brief discussion of what sort of photo-problem to solve, this is what we came up with.
The original problem I posed to the group: How do you work in the small studio space to show and do justice to an authentically dressed outdoorsman?
When he offered that he could also FIRE the flintlock, there was only one thing we could do! Make it appear as if he were about to bring home dinner at the end of the day!
We spent about 30 minutes setting up (see the production stills next to this in the stream). This is the first "acceptable" exposure I made - after which I stepped aside and let members of the group have their turn at timing and "photo-dancing". This shot is not retouched nor cropped (you can see the edge of the white seamless at left.)
In full historically-correct dress, our friend and pioneer re-en-actor, Chuck E., willingly reloaded his flintlock rifle to allow us this shot - shot after shot. In the brief time allotted that morning (only 9AM-noon), we'd designed the shot to appear as if it were sunset and explored the lighting requirements and possibilities.
While not yet a professional grade image, it still gave the group a viable idea of the "non-trivial" efforts it takes to assemble an illustrative studio shot. Thanks to all who helped pull this off - especially Michael M. and Steve O.

These are from waaaaaaay back :D Haven't got round till now to share them with you all.
Anyway I was so inspired by fellow Flickerinos smoke shots that I had to give it a go myself, first attempt and still got a long way to go but its a cool start and I wanted to show you all something different :)
Pretty much straight off the camera. Gels on the 580ex 2 were used to colour the smoke.
Setup shot below.
The headstock of an electric guitar is prominently featured, highlighting the tuning pegs and brand logo, with a blurred background depicting a music studio atmosphere.
Just a simple studio portrait of yours truly!
Waiting for a client shoot so I just popped behind the camera and took one or two photos with a super simple lighting set up.Sometimes, simplicity rocks.
As a second year Photography Student we now have more access to the Photography Studio's at University. This week I've been experimenting in them with different light kits. The two photographs were taken with constant lighting and a light with a lens that allows you to slip patterns into it, causing these interesting shadows and patterns. I know I need more work in the Studio in order to understand it more, but for now I feel quite pleased with these images.

Canon 70D.
a dark field, some lighting gear, some colored light emitting children's toys equal a lot of fun...
The goal here was 'fun', specifically to let people play around with this setup and see what kind of results they could get... the setup was shooting tethered so that people could see what was being captured on a near real-time basis. You can see the results of this set up here...this is a 'behind the scenes' shot.

Technical Description:
Canon 5DMkII w/ 24-70mm f/2.8L lens mounted on a Manfrotto 055CXPRO Carbon tripod, with a shutter release cable shooting tethered into a MacBook Pro running Lightroom 3. The camera was in 'bulb' mode with the shutter being opened/closed by the Canon shutter release cable (allowing the person running it to determine how long the exposure needs to be). Lighting was provided by two White Lighting X1600's mounted on C-Stands with boom arms out. The front light was up and to camera left with a large softbox difusing things, a back light to camera right was restricted with a set of barn-doors. Both lights triggered by Pocket Wizard Plus II's, Power provided by a Paul C. Buff Vagabond II. Everything was carted up there in Joleen's (my wife) 2005 Subaru WRX STI (on the left).
This photo taken by another Canon 5D with a 16-35mm f/2.8LMkII lens with another Pocket Wizard Plus II firing the strobes.
How It Works: The way the setup functions is that a puff of flash is fired when the shutter release cable is pressed, this puff of flash is the only thing that illuminates the people in the frame. After the flash people can move around with the color light sources and 'paint' until they are done. Because there is so little available light the length of time the shutter is open doesn't matter a ton, some times the people would be done in just a second or two and in others it might take ten seconds. One tip is that the strobes should be set on a low enough power that they balance out well in terms of exposure with the light sources that are being used for the 'painting', in this case the strobes were on pretty low.

Inspired by a small bag of tangerines from the market. I do love getting the palette knife in there on metals. Studio setup.

Part of a self-assigned series for my wife's upcoming book, "Dog O'My Heart" - Guinness and Robbie were in Monrovia, California at the time. Robbie is the son of some dear friends; Guiness is their bear-chasing rottweiler. We shot this in the shade of a porch - but with a 2PM afternoon sun - trying to beat a deadline for an evening Amtrak train back to Texas.
Camera: Hasslebad, 150mm lens
Film: Fujichrome 100, 120mm.
Scanned on a Nikon 9000 Coolscan.
Strobist data: Norman 4K pak, 1 head at 2K, through a single 72" Chimera soft box at left + reflector at right + used the sun light & balanced it for hairlight. Exposure was probably around 1/125 @ f/16 or so...verified with Polaroid PN55 Polapak film.
