I think Playboy might have used three times more lights, but ended up with the same beautiful results!! Really wonderful photo, I think this lady would look right at home at Playboy, or any magazine she chose to be in!

HA ... wonder what I could do with three times more lights? I'd probably end up blinding the model or catching my house on fire. LOL!

beautiful images...I was just reading another post about white balance. What do you do to achieve the "warm' skin tones in these shots? Thanks, Dana

The warm skin tone comes from a combination of several things. First, I shot these images at Cloudy-1. Typically I'd shoot at Cloudy-3, but to me, it was too warm and made the skin tone look too red. The other thing I did to warm the skin tone is slow my shutter speed and use a rear sync. All these images were shot at 1/50 sec at f3.5. By dragging the shutter a bit, I allow the room lights (an overhead incandescent light and a halogen torchiere light) to "bathe" the images in a soft golden light before the flash kicks in to finalize the "look."
