      These shots are fabulous. I would very much like to take this idea and try it myself. Your captures really speak to me.

      Fantastic!! Can you please indulge me? Do you have a reflector in front or lighting on the camera side"?

      There's nothing else than what's mentionned on this picture.

      You are amazing. You inspire me to get more creative. I am going to try this and I hope it's as fantastic as your images. Thank you so very much for sharing your technique. Happy shooting.

      This was fantastic. Can I ask where you placed the flags to prevent light spill? I am very new to studio photography and working with strobes.

      Thank you so much.

    16. Alucardo (11 months ago | reply)

      Glad I can help. Happy shooting to you too!
      The flags can be seen on the BTS video. They just have to be placed between the light sources and your camera, and between the light sources and the background.

      Amazing photographs ! Such a wonderful idea ! Tried with much cheaper equipments but still proves it's good fun !

    18. Alucardo (11 months ago | reply)

      Thanks. I'm glad you wanted to try it by yourself, and yes, it's very good fun.

      Amazing! I just watched the video and the shots you showed were just spectacular. I wish I had the equipment to try this.. guess I'll have to get creative :D

    20. Alucardo (11 months ago | reply)

      Thanks a lot! You can actually realize that kind of picture with only minimal equipment. That was kind of the point of the video: Show that no super-expensive studio flashes or a professional studio is needed...
      Good luck and happy shooting then !

      I can't wait to see your versions!

      wonderful..what find of powder did you use. It seems to have a fine grain to it so maybe not flour.

    25. Ramon Diaz Photograpy (7 months ago | reply)

      wonderful, great photos, did you have only 2 light behind the dancer? not one in front? regards

    26. Alucardo (7 months ago | reply)

      Thanks.
      It is flour.
      Everything is explained here, and on the video. I didn't hide anything. :)

      You must be tired of hearing this, but thank you so much for sharing. Your video and CEBImagery's video inspired me to try. I hope I did ok?
