Forgot to mention 'Something' is Natalie Woods label

most of these were taken without the softbox flash off camera naked sb800(hard light) in combination with the very low ambient tungsten light

I admire your skill but personally I prefer your softer lighting set-ups Wendel. This hard edge lighting is too contrasty for these particular images....but that's only my personal taste. The colour arrangements are beautiful!

hi

thats a tv crew guy hes meant to be in the pic
it was pretty dark in there
technically i had to take the photo in a way that resulted with lots of noise
i tried to use minimum shutter speeds to reduce noise

the important things i look for first is subject matter, art direction, and then technical

thankyou for comments

Matt i understand hard light only suits certain situations in this situation i thought in my judgement a hard light would contrat the pensive fragility of the the scene

if i had all day i'd shoot the set a million times over using all the lighting techniques i could muster it really was an inspirational fashion presentation
full on fashion editorial material

Always a joy to see your images mate. I was wondering to myself if you were in Fashion Week when I saw it on the news. Glad to see you were.

I like the harsh lighting in these i,ages, I don't think subdued soft light would have served them as well.

Lovely once again, very contrasting style to the other set. I prefer your handling of the softer lighting. Both terrific though. Wendelll out of curiosity what camera and lens set up?
cheers

hi

thankyou everyone

marco i used my new d200 and the 17-35mm f2.8

i had the d2x with the 85mm but this sort of set required me to shoot wide it was quite tight
