My use of unlit black backdrops is effective, but getting a bit tedious. Tonight I experimented with illuminating the black drop cloth with a gelled strobe.
This is my favorite of the set: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/13144074523/in/set-72157642331444985 It should be safe for work even though the model is wearing no clothes. Large gridded softbox as key, camera left, small soft box behind subject and gobo camera right, and gelled strobe on the backdrop. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
