My first attempt at studio type of photography.

[dean]

I am new to studio portrait photography. I only got into it since I knew I was having my first kid, and I was going to refuse to take her to Babies R Us photo lab or any other type of portrait place. I'd figure I could maybe do it better, cheaper and it might be fun. I've seen the crap my friend has gotten and it wasn't all that for what he paid and you can't get the original digital copy but only a lo-res pos picture. Here are my first attempts today. In case anyone asks,

These were taken with a Nikon D70 with (2) Alien Bees B400 flash units, (1) Large Photoflex softbox, (1) 46" Umbrella, Boomstand w/ 48" disk reflector, 10' Ft stand with a 4' Savage Super White seamless back ground paper and I used a Sekonic 308-S flash meter, which is awesome and a Radio Flash Trigger Transmitter and receiver to fire the strobes wirelessly. I got a total of 4 rolls of paper. 2 whites and 2 blacks. I bought some more crap that I didn't list since It wasn't used.
