I was messing around with my simple Canon A70, a tripod, a spot lamp from one of my enclosures and a tad bit of photoshop to adjust the levels. This is what i came up with.
I look like a friggin genie! lol
Taken at night with all the lights turned off except the lamp from the enclosure which I pointed at myself from the side. Pinned up a back cloth to the wall behind me. Not bad for a makeshift studio. Once I get a better camera Im going to start taking portraits professionally.
