Almost every photographer wants to be a "strobist" one day

Well, this is the end result of a 3 hours work with a colleague photographer and a very cute model Olya. The whole session was shot for a final project of Katya (the colleague) at her photography study but the idea of shooting on the floor was actually mine.
We used:
1 Visatec 1600 strobe with a small soft box on the front right.
1 Small 35W strobe with a paper snoot (home made) from the back left.
1 Small 35W strobe from the front center (behind the camera) bounced from a silver umbrella.
1 Sigma 500DG Super behind the model on 85 degrees to "burn" the background.
The background is a huge piece of testing paper, that being used by the professional photo printer (those prints the huge billboards on the building fronts).







Here is the light setup and, actually, Katya is taking her shot from upstairs :) the final results are almost the same, so there is no need to show another shot here.

The whole thing was done in my living room and 3 out of 4 strobes are very very simple, so are some parts, like the snoot.

All I wanted to say - don't be afraid to improvise, if you really want to create - you will do it with whatever you have handy :-).

The full size final image (700X700) is here.
