I made little glass shelves for my display at a holiday store i participated in- picked everything up, and the glass shelves are still coming in handy...
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.

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.
Here is my old setup, with a lot more junk, and a beautiful laptop that I borrowed for a few weeks :) (I still have the awesome Artemide lamp :) )
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!

This is what happens when I can't find the little piece that screws into the bottom of my camera that attaches it to my tripod. I attach my gorilla pod bendable tripod to my D3 and I wrap that around the top of my tripod. Improvise. :)
