Definitely has your look about it .. I'm guessing a large white towel used as a reflector?

Saves on batteries, I'm all over it .. pay my airfare & sign me up.

I'll tell you how I would do it... may or may not be the same thing JClay would do.

Well - go on then!

I forgot to add that if I told you, I'd have to kill you.

Just kidding - sending you a PM. Don't want to spill anyone's beans.. Jeremy's or mine!

I like the bw better, as far as how its done I am really not gonna lose sleep over it. If JC wants us to know we will know if not then we won't and will just have to practice more!
nice shots

By strobed do you mean on camera flash? #1 does look like you used an on camera flash where the light fall off is alot, thats why I do not use a flash on the camera....gives that tunnel look where the subject is well lit but everthing else not so much.
To me strobes are used to slightly highlight the subject and to minimize light fall off, if that is what your after then it's not even close...if you are after a flash on the camera look...then it's pretty good.

I am guessing a bright exposure, a multiply layer and some careful selections/masking.

I like the shot Jeremy, but I hate to have to ask... why not get it closer to right "in camera" versus going thru the trouble of making something look as nice as if you had placed a light on a stand anyways?

I do like #1 more than #2 for what it's worth... and do look forward to seeing how you did this... I understnad that sometimes lugging lights isn't always practical...

I like the colored one, but it still looks strobed. I guess with enough PS anyone can make a photo looked strobed. I am unsure what you are going for here. It is a good shot though.

To a client, the first is probably fine; but to a photographer, it just looks like purposely burning to me. Same with the second, except I'd think you went black & white to cover exposure issues. That's just my opinion anyway. I personally wouldn't buy either as a client. (just being honest)

I like #1.
#2, the girl's arm just seems blended in with the back of that white truck..

No worries.

Thanks all for the feedback!

well no one else is going to do it...so....I'd do #1 by using a strobe on a stick bounced off a medium size 40"ish umbrella held high roughly at 11 o'clock.

Or you could do a double exposure then a photoshop merge w/ masking of the two images.

2nd image could have been done on a cloudy day.

How are those for guesses? :-)
