this is a small lookbook job i did for a fashion client
just sharing because it was a shoestring budget job and with my styling i made it into something a bit more special

i used 1 beuty dish for the main light and 1 snooted strobe to light the smoke and 2 speedlights for additional background flashes which got toned down by the star filter i used on the lens

Very interesting images. I think I prefer
the last one because it is a close up and
eliminates much of the background, but
I like them all.

Wow! :bowdown:

These are just great!

Thanks for giving the lighting info. [Can see your key light on the balloons. The beauty dish has such beautiful light! ... :wink: )

Do you own your own smoke machine?

Awesome work as usual. My only gripe is the reflections in the balloons - not sure how to alleviate, but perhaps underexposing slightly or even spraying some fine liquid on the balloons to disrupt the reflections. Small niggle.

awesome stuff wendell, lighting magic at its best - whats with teh second image though, she looks very short in that one, or is that an optical illusion?
