very impressive, im interested what lighting setup you used for this? particularly to get the background so good.

 

[tonk_172]

basically i used a small studio set up a large white collapsable backdrop 2 flashguns shot into 2 reflective umbrellas against the background to over expose it and at the from 1 flash gun shot through a softbox.Basic rule in these images is if the back lights are set to f10 the front one wants to be set at about f8 so the back ground overexposes plus about 5 foot min distance from backdrop so you dont get any light spill...

Nice, pricey setup, thanks for the quick answer.

Sounds like a good setup - nice shot

I've just bought my first flashgun for the D40 lol
