Brother sent home a pro lighting set up, which I used to get the nice bright white pictures.
For the shadowy line-up we used long exposure and strobed a flashlight back and forth across the line. Nice effect! These first two are pretty large!
A Sopranos inspired line-up:
Aaaand, The Nun & The Schoolgirl


Wow! Those look great! I really like the Sopranos like setup. And the nun/schoolgirl pic made me smile.
Now you just have to steal that photo setup for good! Mwahahahaha.
It's huuuuuge! Heh. It's a giant four bulb crossbar on top of a tripod.
But makes me want to get a mini set-up like it.
