Bill and I posted a full review of the Alien Bee Ringflash at Studiolighting.net as a compliment to our recent interview with Paul Buff on the LightSource Podcast.
What do I think of it? You'll have to read the article to find out... but here are a few samples to whet your apetite.
Wednesday, September 20, 2006 at 6:36AM A recent shoot down with JamieT from ModelMayhem.com. We did a few business concepts using the Pagoda in Reading as a backdrop for a little bit of an international flavor. There are many more yet to finish up from this shoot, but they require quite a bit of photoshop work since they are practically illustrations.

Maxim photographers get some really interesting looks in their images. Have you ever wondered how to get them youself? I have kept this article as a reference and use many of the techniques learned in here to enhance images from a shoot.
How to shoot Maxim-Style
Behind The Scenes with Mike Brochu (available at OneModelPlace.com)
At one time it seemed like half the fashion shooters used a lens-mounted ring light as their key light. Think of the Maxim shot as the antithesis of the flat, super-soft images so popular in decades past.
Now... that's not right... I see a TON of RingLight shots in Maxim. Many photographers I've talked to commented on the "evil" lighting from the Ring Light. Chris Weeks said that a Ring Light is so 1990s at DeviantArt Summit last year. I liked the 1990s... LOL.
Oh well, one day I will shoot with a ring light and then I'll see if I hate it too.
