being a watch show.... it's odd that i can't really make out the swatches compared to the faces. but i think that would be pretty impossible given the live setting. oddly enough too, the models' shades still have those UV A/B stickers on them...

sequitur, are you left handed? seems like your flash (my guess only) is on your right when you fire. try to frame an entire person in the frame without any part of anyone else in the frame, especially the unidentifiable legs, and stairs too. of course, it also depends on how lucky you were to get a spot to shoot at, because that spot would determine your framing to an extent

no

i'm standing to the left of a spotlight
that made up the main lighting for the shots
the flash i had just filled in and catchlighted them

aiy
i had no room to move
the platform was big enough for one person

Sorry but your flash did not act as fill-in. Fill-in flash is to remove shadow, check your photo again it has a very distracting shadow created by your flash. You flash output is tad strong, some subject is almost overexposed. You monitor not calibrated?

the flash was producing more like, reflections of the oily skin patches for certain models. only one shot seemed anywhere close to being overexposed - most were nearly there, but only one or two decent exposure levels. then again, it could be my monitor.

agree.... should have done a -1EV flash compensation for fill-in
