Great shots, Bruce!
Hard to pick a favorite from the bunch, though if I were forced, I'd
probably go with "Paper".
As much as I'd love to work with gorgeous models, I don't think my ego
could handle a studio environment. Having that much control over the
conditions would take away all my excuses for my crappy shots.

Cut to the chase: http://goo.gl/mbTQU ... scroll down 7 shots to
where the B&W's start.
On the weekend I attended a workshop on directing and posing models in
the studio. A very cozy affair, our teacher Neeto da Silva held it in
her home studio that she sets up in a lovely low-rise apartment around
the corner from the old and iconic Maple Leaf Gardens in downtown
Toronto.
I met Neeto at the very first studio collaborative TF shoot I
attended. Another photog and I were hugely impressed by her easy
command of the set and the models, and discussed it with her. In some
follow up email she agreed to tailer a workshop for the other photog
and myself, and arranged to have two models and a makeup artist on
hand.
The shots in this GESO are mostly behind-the-scenes candids, but also
three shots from a "flying hair" sequence. Both of the models had
gorgeous, long hair and we were directed to use that and have fun with
it. It took me a while to really let loose and get creative, but I did
and I'm still feeling the high from this workshop, 3 days later.
For equipment junkies: K20D, DA* 50-135/2.8, ISO 100. f/8 give or take.
2 x Elinchrom BX500 NI monolights with Profoto softboxes (24" I think).
The candids are ISO 1600, various wide apertures (see the individual
shots), natural room light from floor to ceiling windows.
Comments welcome!
