I´ll try to get rid of the bar maybe later today and post a new version.

The setup was really simple and common. A 470 EX II with a 50cm Firefly Beauty Box, pretty close to the model for a soft lighting, overpowering the sunlight. That´s it. It really is one of my favorite and most used setups. So simple, yet so powerful.

thought it was too soft to be a beauty dish
might look at getting one, hate the square reflections in eyes from softboxes

that firefly box is like..... the best investment I´ve made. photograhy related that is.

cool, will see if i can get 1 here, if not i will just buy it online

here´s a totally different shot, with different editing:



I´m way less confident about this one. Funny to check out my old stuff, there´s so much trash. I´d do things so differently by now.

I love it again
and loving her more

oh on another note, my favourite "model/friend" is moving back to Dubai
so will get to play around a lot more

you live in Dubai? that´s quite awesome. Would love to do some night fashion / portrait shots there. Must be great.

it is awesome
i need to get out and shoot more for myself, i am doing it more and more now

you go and do that. Why would you waste that opportunity? Not every1 happens to live in such special places.


another old shot ( like 1 1/2 years ago ) re-edited:

well although i love the city its not what i love shooting, i am just odd i guess
but i am getting back to it

damn your skin edits are brilliant, could u explain what u did?
or is there a tutorial u learnt from?
