Starting out with strobes

This week i started using strobes for the very first time. I had used studio lights before but never done anything serious with them.

For this shot i set up one strobe with a soft box right next to it.

My f stop was set to 32, blacking out all other light or any thing in the background that might have shown.

I shot from below the bottle, getting all of the light perfectly on the label of the bottle.

For this shot i set up one strobe with a small reflector to create more light. I put my face up close to my camera and the strobe next to the camera on my left side.

I really like how well lit my eye is in the shot.
