Have been learning about studio lighting recently, and these are a continuation from my previous test shoot. These images were inspired from some fashion mags, trying to recreate the lighting. Thanks to the make-up artist and especially to the model - she's just 15 years old!

These are very high quality shots, ones u should be proud of!
Mind sharing the lighting setup u used to get such outstanding results?

Great shots!
should be on cover of magazines!

excellent work
the lighting is very clean and defines the models face well

good to see you used a background that compliments the styling too

hte hair creations are great i could easily imagine the potential of shooting that crazy hair, compliments to your hairdresser

Geoff you can see the lighting position from the reflection in the eyes but im sure theres much more involved than 1 light

Great work, I think #2 could easily be a cover photo.
Nicely done.

Very nice!`

good use of soft boxes to light the subject..these are well exposed

Brilliant images. colour, sharpness what more can I add

That is excellent!!

How did u got into contact with studio lights and make-up artist??

Thanks everybody for the comments, glad you like them. Will pass on the compliments to the make-up artist/hair stylist.

Geoff,
For the first one, lighting was 1 big soft box right above the model, a small reflector below and a light for the background. Second shot was taken just with 1 big soft box as the model was standing right against the background.

Yi-P,
There are studios that you can rent out by the hour and the people that run them can put you in touch with a make-up artist. Fortunately, I have a close friend who is a make-up artist.

Terrific quality to these images. Certainly would easily grace the cover of any magazine. #1 is my pick here. Well done
cheers

Nice to see some creativity along with some skill!

Thanks guys for the kind comments. I must say I'm enjoying learning about lighting.

Gooseberry, that first one is brilliant, nice images and lighting

Beautiful girl.

Both great images, I like No. 1 especially. Excellent tones and lighting. I'm sure lots of effort must have gone in in producing these.

nice shots there! for some reason, the 2nd shot made me think she was lying down..

as wendellt complimented you on- the choice of backgrounds goes well with the styling of the model.
