Thanks, was going to link them all in but am just too tired right now. Been shooting most of the day and then processing the images. I need to go to sleep.
Had a lot of fun. We'll be trying some other locations in future.
I did find I could do with a second light stand and umbrella. That will just have to wait for now, too many other things to get sorted out.

These are very good Tyr. The only one that doesn't work for me is #3 ... and I wish #1 had a little more fill lower down and a touch less on her face too. Your wife is lovely and very photogenic - especially so with the goth style, love it !

Great shot. Really like the Goth Style. The V5 seems to be a good piece of kit to have.
Well done.
Well done.

I wasn't sure about the light on the skirt. It is quite dark, but there is a lot of detail there, just needs a bit of fill in lightroom. Was trying to focus the light on her face and corset though. It can be difficult to gauge the balance though, especially with Tue variability of viewing media. One reason I need to get more prints done.These are very good Tyr.

Thanks, it is a real joy to use these triggers. I do need to stop the flashes sleeping though. That is the only thing that annoyed me. We'd take a short break and I'd forget about Tue flashes sleeping angf they wouldn't fire until I went over to wake them up.Great shot. Really like the Goth Style.

So far reliability is good and they are such fun. So much freedom of movement while still having full control of light is definitely an eye opening experience.

Nice shots, great light and love the clothes. Nice tattoo too, the pastel-y colours are a nice contrast with the strong blacks and red hair.
Strangely I have a hard time telling the two women apart, even though they have different hair and clothes! The eyebrows save the day They are both very photogenic though, compliments to the models.

She actually wanted high key but I couldn't find a suitable backdrop. The low key black worked rather well. I think we would have needed summer tanned skin for high key. May try it later in the year.Nice shots, great light and love the clothes. Nice tattoo too, the pastel-y colours are a nice contrast with the strong blacks and red hair.

I'm bad with names but not faces. Perhaps a diagram would help

What striking images. I particularly like the light, sharpness and framing of the first one.
Best wishes,

Had 52 keepers out of 150 or so shots. Need to pay more attention to poses and shadows cast if I want a better ratio of good shots.
I'll only post a couple here but there are links to the sets at the bottom of the post if you want to see more.
