I owe it to Sean, his stuff really inspired me!

Aw, shucks. Now if only I inspired potential customers to book sessions...





Tonight's shot:

Sean, it looks as though you may be among the top photographers here that inspire others. You and Nate. And I am sure I am leaving others out too, but you and Nate have inspired me the most.

Sean - On my next trip south, (hopefully, this coming spring), I can picture seeingthis latest one of yours on a lighted billboard somewhere! [Y]

BogdanD - Nice photo! IMO, you are on the roadto great things ahead!

Nice one Sean!

[Sean Setters]

Thanks to everyone for the kind words. It really means a lot. Since you guys can't seem to get enough of me *cough*, here's one I took today. :-)






I'm not sure that this is one of my best, but there's something about it I like--I just can't quite figure out what it is.

Might be the subject?


Is that a watch in your pocket?

[Sean Setters]

No watch in the pocket. Is it a button you

I second that!! []


Here's a recent one of mine, trying to mimic "by the window sil" shot with some strobes

I like it--the lighting, pose, composition, and post-processing work well together. For a windowsill look, though, there's usually a little less fill. Then again, the fill would be dependent on the amount of ambient light in the room or reflected sunlight off the wall--so the fill seen above would certainly be plausible. What I sometimes do is place the strobe(s) outside windows diffused by a hanging piece of white fabric.

Very nice photo! Good points Sean. The strobe outside through fabric is a good one, I just wished I didn't live on the second floor of an apartment!


I may try a similar shot again sometime with a window or a blinds gobo instead to create an illusion of a "window". At the time I couldn't figure out how I could go about creating window shadows when I was bouncing off a big wall. I may just have to rip one of my blinds off my windows for that one []
