Window Frame Silhouette - easy to create for impact

Backlighting through a diffusion screen is such a powerful tool. I use it all the time, but usually with a main light on the subject as well. In this sequence of shoots though I am just using the backlight and shooting directly into it.

Scaffold Pyramid - 3 poles, 1 naked model

I love scaffold poles for props. They are really easy to configure into different shapes. They are sturdy enough to take weight. I also like the combination of hard steel against soft skin - I think they create a good contrast of strong lines a...

Back Light, the easy way to create a striknig nude image

Rim lighting of the nude is a very simple lighting arrangement but one which is very powerful. The reason it works so well is that it really pulls out both the physical form, the shape of the subject and also reveals tone and texture in the figur...

You can pick up scaffold poles cheap and do interesting things with them.

This sequence of images is shot around a scaffold pole hanging horizontally from a ceiling fitting. The fitting is very secure to allow the model to really hang from the pole.

Build your own art nude posing box with insulating sheets

This setup creates a big hi-key box for the model to work in. The box serves two purposes. Firstly, the lighting part. By surrounding the model by white reflectors and pushing light into both ends of the box we create a very soft wrap-around ...

You can create your own reflecting pool and shoot it, even in your back garden
