Description
Rael got into some of my anime-girl costume collection at our last shoot. This is a grab-shot I took of her clowning around.You can see that the lighting here is the same as from some of the other shots I\'ve posted recently from that shoot. This lighting technique, with the \"hot spot\" on the sweep and soft light from the side, does a good job of popping the subject off the background.

She was going to. Then she changed her mind. Then she changed her mind about changing her mind. Then...
Meanwhile, I just keep shooting pictures of her.

for the lighting, was it all hot lights, with no flash?

so overheard focused flash with a side slave I'm guessing? (I'm still learning the whole lighting concepts)

This one's a trick setup. All the lighting is from the sides. Flagged-off softboxes on the left and a gridded spot aimed at the background. There's a description of the lighting set up here:

ahhh. thank you, that explains a lot.
I hope to order a lighting set sometime after I get a new backdrop support system. the last one didn't work quite right, but then again, I made it from PVC pipe. Going to order a real one next time.

Lovely work. I have to give that lighitng a try--it really does give the image some nice depth.

Playful, cute! Somehow, I don't think she'd be allowed to cosplay in this outfit at many conventions...

Would you throw her out? I wouldn't.

Well, some people have this funny issue with bare breasts, you know.

I like her skirt and shoes. They look really nice. The shoes look like cowboy shoes.

That is a really fun picture - really nicely done.

I really like the image, but something about her hair feels a little off, maybe you could try sharpening it, or even try blurring it a bit to see if it comes out differently.

I really like this good mood, nude-fashion works, and the lighting is great.

beautiful image, i think the head looks a little big because of the somewhat awkward position shes posing in

looks cute.
somehow the head looks like it's way too big for the body, no idea why... *scratches chin*
