The photographs in the second section were taken at The Center For New Age Photography in Lawrence, MA. The CFNAP is no longer in business, but look around to find a studio you can rent at a reasonable fee that will supply the support (equipment and models) that you need. The photos taken at CFNAP used four of the seven setups then available: high-key, low key, veil with blue background lights, and portrait setups. Just plug in your camera (PC connection or using a hot-shoe to PC adapter) and fire away. The flash duration is about 1/1000 second, and starting camera settings using full manual are 1/250 second and f/8.0. Exposure adjustments are made via the f-stop or ISO settings. The flash setup can be modified if you wish to achieve other effects.
We used our own models plus models provided by CFNAP.
