Each year my camera club arranges a model night; this year it was last evening. It's not my favourite subject, however these are my three favourite shots.
Model is Rachel Gisele
She did her own makeup.
Srtobist:
Foreground Image: 1 light. Elinchrom Quadra in the deep octa, camera right, with only the inner baffle, f/11.
Background Image: 3 lights. 2 B800s in strip boxes for the background, full power. B800 in a socked beauty dish, boomed overhead, f/11. There is a silver reflector under.

Model is Kristen.
Strobist: Key is a Photogenic monobloc camera left, f/13 at ISO 200. Rim behind, monobloc in a strip, 1 1/2 stops lower than key. There is also a light on the background, but I pretty much nuked that in post. Triggered by Pocket WIzards.
PP in Lightroom/CS4.

I shot this originally for Project 52 Pro Assignment 2
This is definitely a fashion shot, but I liked it. The inspiration piece is lit with much harder light. I think this is more my style. I also didn't go as far with post, although, again, the contrast may be due to printing. However, I now wish I had used the Maxi Lite and shot it that way.
I know Zack Arias said not to bother shooting fashion unless you are in NY or Paris or maybe seasonally in Miami (which is down the road a bit) but I just liked the image. ;)
Strobst: Key is a B800 im a large octa, camera right, f/4. Fill from camera left from a large softbox, f/2.

From a hair series for the LE 52 Weeks project, assignment 21.
This has an extreme amount of retouching, which I normally don't like/do. However, for this image, I felt like the retouching almost had to be surreal, the skin flawless. Even if it was supposed to be about hair.
I still don't know how I feel about it.
Strobist: B400 in a beauty dish boomed over camera axis, f/8. B800 on a 40º grid for background, unmetered.

I love the warmth of the model vs. the coolness of the negative space.
Strobist: SB-28 w/ Lumiquest ProMax w/ gold insert, camera left.

An expression very meaningful to me.

Strobist: Elinchrom Quadra in the deep octa, camera right, f/5.6, in a short lighting position (should be a little higher for my taste). Triggered by Skyport.
