I watched a couple of videos about how to do this and tried to figure out how I could come up with something similar. I do not have a remote flash so had to rig up some sort of lighting.....a fish tank light set on its side. The kind that has a bar light and not light bulbs (and gives off white light). A black back drop and smoke and mirrors (pun intended). I cut a couple pieces of sheet mirror down to workable sizes and placed them around to help bounce the light around.

There is NO flash used to take these and it shows in the fact that I had to use a high ISO so there is quite a bit of noise in some of them. Also not quite enough light to really get a good sharp focus. There was obviously some PP done on these but I don't think they came out to bad for a first try.

Strange you should say that....so do I. Especially 2 and 3...those are obvious. (maybe we should have been tea-cup readers or maybe we were???)

Shane T...very nice pics, neat how each pic is so different from the next. Good PP on noise reduction!

Where there is smoke, there is fire. . .maybe. :)

I love all of these images. They would make some very interesting large prints. Very erotic.

Well done, and I tip my hat to you!
