Having grown up in that area myself I have always appreciated the great sites you've used for your shoots. Kudos on going the extra mile and the great photos you achieve.

That's the beauty of having real girls like Gigi come over to your house and spent the night with 2 hours notice while your gear is packed up for a morning shoot the next day, watch TV with you and let you worship her feet while taking candid photos with your phone.I felt the onboard flash would look too much like a club selfie pic with red eyes and hot spots and less professional. I expressly noted that in the description and everyone approved of the variance in style for a change. They weren't supposed to be "professional" at all but give a candid look into something I didn't have to share with the public but did anyway.I am sure Adam and Patrick have done this with their models at some point but never went out on a limb to document. Perhaps someone with 15 total posts and a layman's opinion can enlighten us pros with some of his own creations on how to pimp feet better in a real world, non professional studio atmosphere? Any advice?

There's also these examples which were left out for examples of my own blend of quality studio lighting early on in my history (resume) to contrast my candid home grown encounters of late. A true professional is flexible, diverse and adapts to his/her environment with the available equipment. Another aspect is I am always shooting in different locations indoor and outdoor whereas other "strictly studio" photographers never really move their lights off the bases, just move around furniture since their lights are always set the same. I prefer a challenge and like to learn new things myself.
It's not really the quality of lights per se, since these were only shot with 2-3 Alien Bees w/ bases and flash slaves and a couple softboxes. Nothing special and roughly less than $1,000 worth of lighting equipment in total.

I don't want this thread to turn into an attack on one site's work over another's. I mentioned Adam as an example of good lighting, but he isn't the only one. However, my likings aren't always to that of a studio look, and neither are everyone else's. It's just like my point in my column that many people probably don't give a crap about all the locations I like to shoot. Everyone has a preference.

Indoor lighting is hard without spending a lot of time and money. I prefer shooting outdoors, but you work with what you can. I've seen many pictures that are from indoor shoots and have better lighting than an outdoor shoot.
As for the scenery, I take a liking to the background of pictures. The scenery doesn't matter as much as the subject, but I still pay attention to it.

I have read this interesting article of yours just now, Patrick.. besides appreciating the extremely useful tips, I was especially honored to have my own BAREFOOT URBAN GIRLS and BAREFOOT NUDITY paysites mentioned by you as notable examples of location-minded foot fetish websites.. so thanks a lot, Patrick!
