Aha – so those studio photographers are just plain lazyz! Just as I always suspected…

I quite like the last one, with the rope.

Nicely done. And I agree, it was only a matter of time before someone paid you for your awesome pics.

Yes! I saw them already and ‘favourited’ a couple. Had to resist from doing the whole set.
“The guys were perfect subjects, they knew how to pose”
I was thinking the same thing as I was looking at the photos: That they certainly aren’t camera shy. Looks like it was fun.

I was going to use my Canon EOS 350D but it wouldn’t work with the flash trigger at the studio. I ended up borrowing a Fuji S2 Pro, which took some getting used to. The interface on the Canon cameras is a lot more intuitive than others IMHO.
There was two lights, one with a big softbox on it, and another from the side with a honeycomb filter. The lighting setup was thanks to Cybele.
I wanted them to just be bathed in light so they could do whatever and i didn’t need to adjust the lighting at all as we worked.

and the first time i’ve ever been paid for taking photos.
That’s a long overdue eventuality man.
Nice work!
