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
