The set up for this shot, sorry about it being fisheye, it was the only way I could fit it in.
The shoe is sat on a sheet of glass, which is over some white vinyl. Then ive got one strobe directly behind pointing up at the wall to blast that out. Then the other strobe poits strighat up. It took me some time to workout how to light the shoe it's self. I went through a lot of variations with my little softboexes, pointing down from directly above, or from each side. In the end I took off the softbox & pointed straight up to the white celling. Suddenly I had super soft shadows. I could have done with a 3rd light pointing at the front of the shoe to bring out the reflection a little more.

Behind the scenes lighting video here.
Dave is holding a reflector about 8-10 inches in front of a lightstand and there is a vivitar 285HV bounced into the reflector at something like 1/4 or 1/2 power. Triggered by cyber syncs. This gave us a pretty big (aka soft) light source from a small strobe!

Or couldn't you tell?
Same setup as the other one. PLM camera right with a 1/4 cto gel. Cybersyncs. 9 images this time. Happy I could use a common wedding photography technique for the forces of creepy. More of a tilt-shift feel to this one.

These images are from a November 8th Session with Carol. Carol was looking for images to accompany a new Yoga business and needed images for web and brochures.
Her first idea was to have images of her in yoga positions on top of a rail engine (train), but after multiple contacts she was unable to get clearance from any rail yards in the state because of liability.
Instead we went with something much more simple and clean.
Sometimes is better to go with a simple idea than getting locked into your inital first idea - especially when it involves large steam engines and trying to get permission and dealing with companies. In this case, doing something more clean and simple will help her in the long run, and eventually she warmed to the idea. Its difficult giving up your first idea of inspiration, but sometimes it simply isn't within your means to produce.

Ever wonder how the photographers isolate a person in the photo? Well, many of you probably already know...that we're pretty inventive and creative (photographers as general rule), but we tend to not like to work harder than we must...so...make it simple, black backdrop (or white).
Michael suggested I should use this one as a show and tell, of how the photos are typically setup. Of course the lights aren't necessarily evident here...and this was actually simply a hand held shot, with the off-camera flash to the left.
Setup shot for the Pat Ivey Portrait, notes should explain everything - I just wish the wall had been painted a bit better, although it kind of adds to the finished shot!

I Got my friend to take a picture on my iphone for me. For some reason I decided to climb up this train ladder and look and see what shot i could create. I was using my 50mm 1.8 on manual and once i had it set, then I only needed one hand on the camera (Nikon D40x). Now i could lean out further from the train.
Well I like what turned out so I thought I would share it with you guys! Hope you all are having a merry Christmas!

Setup for the supermacro. An extention tube (homemade) of 500 mm is used + the AF60/2.8Dmicro lens. A ringlight (homemade) is used because the distance between object and lens is to small for other ringlights. enlarging to 39:1 are possible.

This is the setup shot for my submission for David Hobby's 3rd Boot Camp Assignment. The assignment was to photograph a residential dwelling and light it creatively (using off-camera strobes, of course). As my apartment doesn't have three square feet of clean, presentable floor area, I decided to shoot Amber's house. After studying the rooms (having initially deciding to shoot the living room), I decided on incorporating my favorite part of Amber's decorating--the Live, Laugh, Love signs that adorn the doorways to the rooms off the hallway. They are appropriate, too, as "Live" is above the living room doorway, "Laugh" is above the ferret's room, and "Love" is...well...you get the picture.
After deciding on what I wanted to photograph, I found it quite difficult to find an angle in which to show all three signs as well as a part of the room they relate to. My new Canon 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 proved essential in this instance. The hallway is very small and angled--without the extreme wide angle, this shot would have proved impossible.
After dragging out just about every piece of gear I own, I ended up using only 1 flash on a lightstand (with a white umbrella or a grid as a modifier). I combined multiple exposures (six) to get the final result.
strobist: 1 gridded Vivitar 285 pointed at each sign, 1/4 power. 1 Vivitar 285, shot through a white umbrella, full power in the ferret's room and bedroom, and 1/2 power in the living room. Triggered via Cybersyncs. Final shot here.
This is a setup shot for the next shot.
