Took a Studio Workshop last weekend - Pics
One of the guys on POTN put together a studio/lighting/model workshop last weekend. It was real laid back with some good info, nice equipment (All kinds of ABees), cool studio...
... oh yeah, and some models.
Here's a couple of pics from the shoot. C&C on the lighting/technical aspects of the images is appreciated. I'm not so sure I've nailed the PP.

For some reason, exif was stripped. I'll work on that later.

The guy (Ronn Canzano) is holding more workshops - one this weekend, I think. If you are interested, PM him through POTN (rcanzano). I did the two day "newbie" session to learn a bit about the lighting equipment and setup, plus a bit about technique. PM me if you want more info, too.
BTW, the studio is in Orange and he rents it out, too. There are several "sets". I need to process some of the other models and post them, but I liked these the most.

I'd probably get bored...not because I think I know everything, I'm just not a classroom type of learner.
I should look into local studios around here. I know there are a couple.

um, yeah...good shots...so about these models...did they all dress like they were ready to begin their porn career or was it just the mood of the 'workshop'...?
on a serious note, good lighting...personally, maybe just a little bit more brightness...do you have a setup shot of where the lights were? did you get to place the lights for your shots or were they already in place?

The model session was the next day - spending roughly 40 minutes with each of the three models - all in different studios with different sets and lighting.

Yeah, I noticed all of my shots were well underexposed (at least 1-1.5 stops) so this is even after bumping it up a bit in LR. As for the lights, they were generally placed, but we had freedom to move them around a bit. For this studio, there were three lights. I can't remember exact model numbers, so they may be off, but there were three lights - 1 AB1600 camera right with softbox, 1 AB800 ringflash with octogon softbox camera left and one AB800 on an overhead boom for a hair light. This studio was a little tight, but still workable.
The main studio had 6 strobes. The third studio had two hot white lights and a bunch of par cans. Pics will go up later.

Did he pre set the lighting, or were you guys able to light and tweak yourselves?
I dont think your shots are underexposed at all.

BTW, we shot while tethered to a computer and flash sync, but it wasn't really a limiting issue, for the most part.
And the original shots were definitely underexposed, so I pushed them up a stop or so in LR.

Was it all flash? or was there regular lighting as well. Flash photography just doesnt interest me for some reason.

Two of the sets were all strobes and one was all hot lights. The strobes were easier to expose, even though you were tweaking. The hot lights were shot at ISO800, f2.8-5.6 and still only getting shutter speeds around 1/80-1/125. It was a cool setup and I'll get more pics up later this weekend.
Unfortunately, I forget to get pics of the lighting setups.
Edit - that roll of film was like $15 about 15 years ago. Some fancy Kodak crap that actually worked..

Bro, sorry I couldnt make it. your shots look waay better than I had expected. a little bit too much emphasis on the front and not enough rim light to show the edges of the model. but otherwise great pics!

No worries. I know he's planning on holding more - both newbie and model workshops.
I know the lighting lacks a little depth. The hair light was at the center of the sofa on a boom and kind of a pain to move, so I didn't

I know you had a post previously about buying some Alien Bees and then were considering a different setup - well, here you'd get to play with the Alien Bees. They were nice to work with, but I can definitely see how you wouldn't want to carry them around.
You should go if you have the time and money.

And I don't think any of these models do nudes. I'm sure if there is enough interest, they could setup a nude shoot with other models - but it will definitely cost more.

Not really. So far the only thing I have been using to edit is LR, so just a little bit of cloning/healing here and there. I'm sure you can find tons of info about it on POTN.

A few pics of the other models:
Cathy (Rockin Kitty) - It was kind of tough getting the correct exposures were:

Katherine - I played with the processing a bit more on these:
