I'm just not a nude shooter most of the time

I'm not surprised; it's far too cold to work like that in most studios at this time of year - you'd catch your death of cold.

@Mike,
I'm 38 but I also enjoy the light more than the nudity.....
Somehow I'm always more of a fashion shooter and when I do nudes I just love it because of the light.... yeah it's weird.

@Rob,
We have it rather warm here in the studio ..... (If I want to).

Funny how one pic puts one in mind of another. This is neither professional not particularly amazing, just somehow similar (to me) and thus, maybe, relevant?

After 20 years of industrial, technical and advertising i finally took the step to do something I wanted to do when i was 20 years old. Making incredible good looking people even look better...  

I like the "look" -- lighting, colors, model.

I do not. It screams too much PS experiment.

hahahahahahahahahahh dear Andre, the only photoshop in this picture is the removal of some dustspecs and the blurring of the background. I have not retouched the face or any other parts of that image. It came that way out of the camera, no color correction, no heavy photoshop, just like it was shot.

In this day and age where everyone cries Photoshop, you still have to be careful. I do a lot at capture at times, always have, but if it looks like it was Photoshopped, it might as well be. Color and treatment of this sort either floats your boat or it doesn't. It doesn't float my boat personally, I'd rather see something a bit more refined and pleasing, blue or not.

Since we are commenting on things that might not work, I'd have to mention that the eyes and the particular subject bother me. Too much white showing and I'm not interested in what she might be looking at. I do like the lines of the second one and it almost works.
Edit: as a one off, I'm liking the second one on my third look at it.

Chris,

for this type of shot, do you try to get everything in 1 shot, or do you composite for the best image possible for your client?

the studio can be a great place to work IMO, especially after being on location a good bit.

Nothing composited.  1 piece of furniture.  Several moveable set walls.  Inkies, lots and lots of inkies... or in this case Dedolights..

[DanielStone]

great to hear. So many people these days here in LA are on the COMP train, "easier" they say, but usually 2x or longer in post. less $$ for the photog, great for the retoucher($$$), but if the retoucher isn't in-house, photog loses big time(again $$$ down the tube). to me, people like you Chris show that discipline, and not taking the "easy road" still show there's an ART to photography, even commercial studio work like this.

dedo's I swear are created by the hand of God himself.

they're the best!

most guys I've assisted for are still with Arri's and Kinos though. They're both super as well. Much better than the Moles IMO

oh Chris,

I just bought a good bit of that EPN from Lucas at H.B.

thanks for that tip btw.

This is kind of fun...

This is kind of fun...

Nice shots, looks to be very tedious, I dont know if I would want to think about how to move the walls and floor around as well as every thing else that comes with architectural shooting.  

By the way what are those black boards you have in front of the lights and where can I get them along with the things holding them to the stands?

[JoeKitchen]

This is kind of fun...

And where do you get movable walls at?  Does the company provide them or do you actually come up with the idea of finding them and using them?
