Hey guys,

It's my first time posting photos in a forum and my first time to take photos using some flashes + studio lights...

Feel free to comment

These are pretty descent pics! You can use a reflector to highlight subjects profile. I have been watching Strobiest's youtube tutorials and they educated me so much.

Not bad as your first try!
Studio lights/flashes are hard to master.

Did you setup the lights yourself? or some one else set them up with/for you?

Thanks for the comments.

I've got someone else to show me how to setup the lights. As an entry level, what sort of flashes would you recommend for a basic setup?

Just my honest opinion. The shots look a little flat, did you post process them? Not bad, but some post processing would give them a boost!

Hey Feint - Thanks for the comments. I agree it does look flat! I didn't really post process them, they are just as shot. I will give it a try this weekend and see the difference.

If there's any pro photoshop'er out there, would be great if you could show me some examples of what can be done to it

Just did a quickie

#1 is my favourite out of the 3. Be careful with how you setup your lighting when you have 2 people facing each other, or it'll be very easy that one of the person's face will not be light up properly

Here is one i just edited in photoshop...

THanks guys! I see heaps of improvement achieved from the post-processing of the images!!

I think the post processing is a little strong.
