Photographer Self Portraits: Lighting Tests!
Before using new lighting setups for photoshoots, I always test them out on myself first to make sure I'm as prepared as possible for the sessions. Nothing is worse than getting to a photoshoot to try out lighting the model asked for and having a hard time trying to duplicate it! The following images are self portraits I've taken with a remote testing out high contrast lighting setups for mainly fitness model style photoshoots. On the plus side I also get the images to use for my own modeling portfolio! I've even sold images I've taken of myself to authors for book covers!

Thanks for checking out my work!
A talented photographer, and a great model too. Kudos!
Thank you! It's always fun testing out lighting to come up with different looks and different ways of sharpening models features!
I do not doubt your modeling skills helps you to be a better photographer. It's a terific series of photos with expert lights set up. Upvoted, resteemed, followed & DPS.
Thank you! Yes, being a model and photographer is helpful as I'm able to teach models poses as well as learn things from other models during the photoshoots!
