Like the last one Ron, it's kind of Wendellesque :lol:
Not sure about the horizontal line in the background though.

Wow mate, I can't recall seeing shots like these from you before, I'm really impressed, these are gorgeous. They might benefit a little from a cloning here and there (lens flare, possible the line in the last one) but overall, brilliant stuff.

Can I ask a little about the lighting you've used ?

Thanks mate. I swore I wouldn't do shots like these, but I needed a challenge and when this opportunity came up, well why not! Agreed with everyone about the horizontal line. Doesnt look to comfortable to the eye.

Regarding lights on 1,2 & 3, I used a 400w strobe with a large umbrella style softbox) with modelling lamp turned all the way up and positioned to try and create some soft shadows. The light in the background was just a bedside lamp turned to point at her. Light falloffs are just photoshopped trickery.

Last pic was window light (hence the color)

Hope that helps
