Hi David. Admiration for your strobist skills. I've been doing film for the past few months, but I think my next bit of kit will be some off camera lighting.

Definitely worth it Steve, it can add that extra something to a shot. Lighting gear can be really expensive, but can be relatively cheap too.

I'd recommend at least one flash, some way to trigger it off-camera and a light-stand and brolly for starters. Two flashes can lend a big boost, but mastering one first is probably the go.

Also, get a copy of Light, Science and Magic (3rd Ed) - excellent book with good examples.

You are doing some nice portraits here David. And I agree on Light, Science and Magic, great book.

Thanks Rob, I think I'm getting the hang of this lighting thing :)

It's a skill I plan to work on next. You are getting some excellent results.

I should probably post some more - there are more over on flickr, but chucking up a few here wouldn't hurt.

très belle aussi, quelle chevelure !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Merci encore :)
