Inspiring, just goes to show it's 95% talent and 5% equipment, #2, 6 & 10 are brilliant Ben.

Care to share some of your lighting technique's?

They are fantastic. I'm not usually one for portraits, but I really like the lighting and style of these, and the rest of your work.

Think my favourites are 'hindouisme' (where do you find a model with 6 arms? ) and 'taoisme', just love the patterns made by the lights on the backdrop.

Having said that, 'orthodoxcloseup' has a real immediacy to it - feels like you've just run up close to the model and looked her in the eye.

Now, seeing as you're sponsored by Pentax, and you get to play with new toys before the rest of us , and although I feel a bit embarrassed to say it when faced with images of this quality, I feel obliged to ask:

The very top left corner of 'taoisme' - is that the edge of the backdrop?


I get very picky when faced with great pictures - it's when the competitive streak comes out in me. Just wish I could do this sort of image, at anywhere near the quality, design and style of yours.

Ben,

Excellent work. You have rendered the argument about whether the K10D is good enough for a pro, redundant. It is. End of story.

Hello Dan, and thanks for the kind comments. No that isn't the backdrop, it is just the play of light and shadows. There wasn't a backdrop, just a full "Cyclo" of 180 degrees...Painted all white.

DITTO!!!!!!!!

Oh well, just hoping you might have made the sort of mistake I would have done!
