Lighting by candlelight only, and this model's glowing personality...

long exposure, just using a flashlight to light the models.

Late afternoon, full sunlight w/no modifiers

I love the way the light cascades down the one side.

Silhouette against a softbox of some sort...

I think a lot of my images work for this one, but this is probably the most interesting!

This shot was taken using available light. It was a randomly found construction site.

heres one of mine, model MM#19545, I used orange candlelight in a completly dark dining area of my apartment , my camera was on a tripod Canon Rebel xti.  Settings 0.6 sec, ISO 800, 28-70mm @f8

in the middle of a shoot, we happened by this office building with beautiful light flowing through the window: 

Theme: Unique Lighting
Entry:

pure natural sun light that hit just at the horizon of the building

Stairwell... you figure out how it was lit

This was created without using any Photoshop effects.  Basically battery-powered bridal string lights hanging down from a home-made variable speed mobile (like the nursery kind) and a hula hoop on the bottom holding the centrifical forces in.  Setting the shot, the model ducked into the circle, I turned on the mobile, set the camera at 1 second shutter, stood on a ladder beside her and hand triggered a remote flash manually while she posed.

This has always been one of my favorites as I love creating lighting gadgets.

Something a little different......a halogen "under-shelf" display light for a bookshelf, used as a night-light in my sons room.

Model- Keshia high in the mts.

Don't know how unique it is, but I thought this was a cool light coming in through our kitchen.

Not sure how unique, but ... single Sigma strobe with black foil snoot, white seamless background:

Taken with natural lighting and no modifiers close to sunset. The only photoshop done on this was to put the border around it, and add my copywright. Taken with my cheap little Kodak camera set to black and white.

This shoot is all natural light. There was several small pines completely covered in snow behind me reflecting light back into the scene to pull down the contrast. I stopped the camera down to get a nice star burst look to the sun. I positioned myself so the sun was almost completely behind the tree.

grill on building

*edit**

Lots, and lots of gel lights.. to drive the color

2-125 watt Home Depot halogen work lights.

And a little photoshop manipulation.

Sunlight shining through a fishtank. It was in my kitchen one morning so I photographed it.
