Note: Cassidy was holding my mini-flash during most of the shots, so that's where my second light came from, if you want to reverse engineer my setup. I don't talk a whole lot during my shoots, as you might be able to tell from my video; I'm not big on giving a lot of direction http://blog.phoquess.com/2008/10/heather-hazzan-photoshoot.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Caroline Steele)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5440227872717516574.post-2217536649857315937Thu, 23 Oct 2008 02:42:00 +00002009-04-30T06:56:04.110-07:00processingRecently I've noticed that, as my photography skills improve, people comment more and more often about my Photoshop use—usually that I use "a little too much." So I wanted to clear up some misconceptions.

The wall, of course, was easy; the silver fabric was, too. It's crinkly silver lamé (I think), and overtop, some gauzy grey stuff embedded with rhinestones.

I'm certainly not going to let it stop me. :D This is my blog for how I did everything.So, to start off: my equipment and setup.Canon Digital Rebel XT (350D): my basic tool. I'm a cheap student and even though this isn't top-of-the-line, it gets me the photos I need. It's very easy to use.
