Description Wonderful model is Asphyxia, who you can find here: [link]
Basically every shot and every pose was awesome,
so I may have to upload more than one shot!

Someone moved this pink couch into my basement, and I just knew I had to use it.

Luckily no one got crabs during this photo shoot.

Although Asphyxia did put the video that Matt from Poisonapplez.com was shooting. Luckily she edited me out of most of it. [link]

Awesome! I like the combination of pink and dingy desaturated colours. Plus, of course, she's an amazing model.

How did you light this? My biggest challenge working outside of the studio is lights.

May-Machin In reply to IanStruckhoff [2009-03-12 19:21:07 +0000 UTC]

in the video it shows where my lights are. I only have an alien bee and a speedlight so I used them both. AB on camera right, and bare speedlight (dont have mods yet!) more frontish with medium softbox

IanStruckhoff In reply to May-Machin [2009-03-12 19:23:42 +0000 UTC]

How do you like the AlienBees? I use Normans and Novatrons in the studio (CoverShot) but I could never afford my own. Are the ABs worth it?

May-Machin In reply to IanStruckhoff [2009-03-12 19:37:14 +0000 UTC]

in school we used photogenics and profotos. I'm not much of a lighting guru. I usually just speedlight or clamp light stuff.. it's too strong for me so i put on ND filters so I can shoot with more open apertures.. but i have the 800, so it is more powerful. I've never used it outside. I am happy with it. I can't tell you if it is worth it. It's cheaper than a speedlight, thats for sure. And it give that great strobey glow on skin. It is plastic.. for what I do now, its pretty rad. Weighs nothing.

All of the stuff you mention sounds more good than bad, to me. Sounds like time to start saving.

well i dont have much to compare with. maybe calumet has cheaper ones. id just get whatever is cheap. its not like i make money doing this lol.

Yeah, I'm losing money at this now, as I don't focus on the paysite.

I have heard AlienBees are among the cheapest good lights, so probably no cheaper option. I'm more and more tempted, as I like your results-- and in the end, that's all that matters.
