When I made this photograph I was using a friend's studio, an establish photographer with much better equipment than we had. He was very good to us letting us use his lights and space whenever we wanted to. We have since gotten a place of our own and we just got new lights(haven't tried them out yet). One of the lights we got has a giant light box that I need to figure out how to assemble. Once I do it will allow us to create nice soft lighting that skims across the the model instead of hitting hard. Transitions to shadow will be softer and it adds to our ability to create an even broader style in our work. I've always prided myself at making the best of not such great lights(actually one of my favorite lights is a floor lamp that you can get for just a few bucks at Big Lots), but I admit that sometimes it would be nice to let the lights help me out more tham fighting with them to get what I want....so look out everyone...I'm ready to experiment with these new lights!
