Thank you for your kind words.
What he's really thinking is: Do you know what time I had to get up for this shoot. I could be sleeping right now.
Thank you for your comment. I didn't use available light at all. This is in my studio. It's a five light setup. If your looking into lights I would suggest Paul Buff's Alien Bees.

Hello Treepusher--Thank you for your comment. I'll explain why I did what I did on this capture. My sitter is not playing the cello, the cello is in union with her. I didn't want her left hand on the cello because it would be showing the back of a female hand, which I try not to do. The eyes are closed on purpose, It would be like you getting ready to kiss your wife, your eyes would be closed in passion.

I did this the other day. I almost forgot how easy it is to photography younger people since most of my clients are very old which has be editing for about three hours per client fixing eyes, working on wrinkles, skin tone, bags, and other facial features. It's a joy to photography the young now and then.
Thanks I didn't see that before.
