Thanks for the "behind the scenes" setup shots. Cool to see other folk's lighting and photography methods.

No kidding! That Stalker/Snake Eyes shot Rules! Posing takes more time than any other element in dios!

When you said the light setup you had in the one photograph cost about $200, is that per light or total? And where do you get them from?

Thats the whole set up. They're Par Cans used in Stage performance and for photography. A Sam As Music store would have them for about $35 - $40 a piece. I built the wooden rigging they sit on and the stand is about $50. he bulbs you can buy at a Hardware store, they're 200 watt floods and spots. The Gels cost about $5 a piece or you can buy sets with mixed colors.

I also have another 4 of them hung on the ceiling that I can use to light different sets at different corners of the room.

Cool, thanks for sharing the lighting techniques. My wife recently gave away her studio lights unfortunately which has left me scrounging for light sources and trying to be creative with Fstops and shutter speeds.
