This was my third time working with Bailey... she keeps getting more and more at ease in front of the camera. I think she did a snazzy job!

I used various combinations of 2 continuous lights and 2 hot shoe flashes. About half way through the shoot, the batteries in my Cactus V2 wireless triggers started to putter out and I just used the hot lights.

All shots were taken with the K10D and FA 50mm 1.4, FA 31mm 1.8 Limited and a couple of shots with the DA* 50-135mm 2.8.

I like number 3 on the first series . Very good ! The ropes add some framing to it .

Thanks! I thought a simple prop like that would bring out some creative ideas.

Nice series - can't say anything that hasn't been said before. Wonderful stuff. I like #3 best out of the first batch you posted, the pose and the lighting are so dramatic.
