My first article has to do with working with your models and establishing a atmosphere of trust on the set. It’s a MUST read for models and photographers: Click on the “Trust” link to the right.

Lesson 2 deals with the complex task of lighting white garments on a white backdrop. The original images were photographed on transparency film, but the lighting control issues are very similar to what we encounter with digital capture.
