thanks Dan, and I know she is interested to shoot with you also.

maybe you can fly down for our next melbourne workshop (I'm sure tessa would be happy to volunteer, then you can do a shoot after the workshop)

Great series Oz. I really like the pose and feeling you've created in #3. really love #5 as well
cheers

i like the 2nd one most the pink suits the hair and the shape of the pose allows for a nice full length shot

i also like the scene in 4 but i think the light is too front on wide and flat which doesn't do justice to the mood of the scene

thanks wendell, that set was the first time I have ever used a smoke machine, and was also using a strip light (think it would have had a little more contrast if I masked it a little narrower.

I also had a light on her back, but think it was all absorbed/blocked by her hair, I wanted to get a nice rim light along the line of her back, but it was late in the day...

any tips on using fog machines? the fog juice it came with dissipated very quickly, and became more annoying than effective...

in real life fog looks good but as soon as a flash hits it the fog looks bad like a white haze that could be misinterpretred

you can either shoot ambient light at high iso or gell the strobe so you get more mood other than that dont use fog machines i think the smoke from cigarettes look better and more elegant

regardign your strip light most times strip lights just burst a wide angle of light you need to make fins(barndoors) for it if you want to narrow that light

yeah, found that out on saturday, it looked mostly like over exposure (but it wasnt thanks to my reliable meter

I think next time, I'll keep fog WAY behind, maybe 5-10 meters, and bring it forward with focal length, shooting colored light into the fog from behind.

now, off to officeworks for some barndoors foamcore...
