Graham - definitely shots from a different era, although the approach to this kind of shoot doesn't change. Did you have an assistant loading backs? Or did you preload a bunch yourself? I did some runway shoots a few years ago, and the experience was great but very different from what you shoot. Did you use some reflectors and umbrellas? Any fill lights?

Great shots

The African version of YOU magazine; it had one of the largest circulation until a few years ago.

Only one back, but two inserts. All I used was fill flash, a big Metz unit, took a long time to recycle (which resulted in some of the shots not having a full discharge) and which limited the shutter speed to 1/125th. No assistant, just my then girlfriend acting as a gopher. Now she is my wife, and I'm the gopher.

Beautiful, took me back to my youth. Light looks well balanced. I remember those old Metz Mecablitz units.

The reflector was round and 15cm in diameter! lead acid battery. Beautiful light quality.

I at first wondered if you used a reflector but then there would have been side shadows on the faces, so I figured it had to be flash. And it wasn't harsh enough to be bulbs. Good work there, Graham.

Thank you, sir.
