We had a pretty awesome lighting workshop i attended in Sydney a while ago now. It's been i while since i've had access to the net for any period of time, so i'm finally going to get around to posting some of my results from that day. Here are a few that i like. These haven't had anything done to them yet. I've got copies that i've done some PP to, but i don't have them online or anything so these will have to do. Any CC would be great! I know there's 5 in here, but i didn't know which one to cut out. If it's a problem I'm happy to get rid of one.

Thanks!

Not sure what the problem is. I got the links from smugmug and copied them in. Any reason they wouldn't show up? I can see them if that makes any difference.

Edit: just checked the gallery where they are linked from, and i had external links turned off! Sorry about that. Shoul be ok now :D

Thanks surenj. There was plenty of help for the lighting and poses don't worry. I was (and still am) very uneducated about the whole process. Since then i've done HEAPS of portraits and model work so I'm feeling much more confident about things. I'll put up the PP ones soon and see what you guys think.
