I'm about to venture into some "Projection" photos. Do you have any pointers?

The only critique I have is that I think you should have had more fill. If you look at my fstopers profile you'll see some examples where the fill is about 1-2stops under and mixed with hard light... I think it would add to the "vintage" look I think you were going for.

That's a good suggestion.

The only pointer that I can offer about the projection thing is that you need to keep your lights off of the screen. That's why I used grids and kept the lighting kinda dramatic. This was really the second time that I've done this, so I'm still figuring it out too!

Spike Marble, that is some gourmet lighting!! The projection is beautiful and makes this image feel like it has a lot of depth and layering. Well done!

I love it. Rear projection mixed with a foreground prop gives it a real upscale fashiony feel. The model's performance is good as well. Only thing i'd do different is widen the spot a hair and move it up a bit so the light on the face is as bright as the light on the chest, but that's just personal preference. Great shot!
