Haha that’s a great tip and one of the biggest things to remember!!! When I say “high energy”, it includes ballads of me saying “you look amazing!” with high enthusiasm. I’m always feeding something to the model, and if I’m not saying something, it’s because I’ve gotten them into “sexy mode” and was adding tension. I always try to give more enthusiasm every shoot, and it works.

My lighting? It’s this! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBPDSBCoN2c&feature=channel&list=UL

They’re veryyy similar to kinoflows, as you can tell. and I use high color rendering bulbs, which really make colors not only pop, but actually SHOW UP in the photos! As you can see, my subject’s eyes look amazing, and that’s without editing. My background is a play on using a white paper backdrop hung on tripod stand with a flash sandwiched between the backdrop and a white science fair project board. I use the gary fong lightsphere with the flash, and place it behind the backdrop, which leads to a slight gradient look which I like. Like i’ve said, it’s only been a week, so for now I’m just playing around with what I have. In a few months, when people are paying top dollar for this, expect to see a more creative setup
