Roley, I browsed through your site and I was impressed and inspired. You have done so well with your modest equipment it puts the rest of us with "better" cameras and stacks of L-lenses to shame. You are really no amateur - your shots are more professional than many pro shots I have seen!

Please do post more of your previous shoots and the "behind the scenes" documentary. You have marvellous control over every aspect of production which extends to creating backdrops, designing lighting, posing models, and even selecting make-up and clothes. I for one would like to learn more about how you light your model.

Now I truly believe it's the photographer, not the expensive camera and lenses one has. To be honest, when I first saw your posted images, I thought they were directly from those high fashion magazines. Now, after reading all the details you provided, I am totally impressed. You are nothing less than a PRO! I do believe you have bright future.

From a photo on the "photographer" section of your website, it looks like you're shooting with an EF 28-105/3.5-4.5 II USM... correct?

What a coincidence, I also shoot a D30 with that lens. I just wish my results were as good as yours and if I had models and such :P

All I have for lighting are two 500W super8mm camera lights that are hot enough to start a fire when used at close distances. I haven't used them indoors yet :P

Hehe! TOP quality! Just had to add my praises!
These just scream out of the screen at you. Love them. Definately start pushing your talents at people and start doing this full time. No buts!

And thanks for your insights as to how you shot them. It's always so nice to hear valuable information like this, and very generous of you.

Well done Roley

Roley:
For a "low budget photographer" you are amazingly talented. You rock! Your narrative about the studio set up was both informative and amusing to read. Your enthusiasm is contagious. I am surprised that you are not able to find work with some ad agency or freelance (with pay). These pictures will make great contributions to your portfolio.
Keep up your excellent talent.

Hhaha tell me about it.. i can't afford strobes, so i use continuous sources. yeah i used to shoot primarily on my 28-135. then i got my hands on a 50mm 1.8 mark I for a steal ($90 CAD). I shoot just with that.

Thanks braman. I'd take a photography job at the drop of a hat. but Vancouver isn't exactly fashion central. Very few magazines based here too. For now, i'll just continue to dream.

Wow Wow Wow! I am also very much into LBS but today I was thinking about going ahead and spending money on better better lighting and back drops until I saw your post. I am so blown away by them. You have truely inspired me.

Maybe you should think about traveling to a more Fashion Oriented Area where you can really Shine and I am sure you would make a lot of money. Anyway thank you so much for your post.

Thanks! The bulb wasn't bare, there were 2 layers of diffusion in front of the bulb from the softbox so all circles would be even.

Roley,

Welcome to the site! I agree with everyone else. I thoroughly enjoyed reading your explanation going into building the set, and would love to see more images. Also, it is nice to see more Canadians here! (I'm originally from Nova Scotia, but living in Seattle).
