Hi Stephen,
The blue BG is stained concrete. The black and white is a piece of material bought at a local fabric shop. The pattern is commonly referred to as “damask”. It can be found in a number of colors and pattern variations.

I often joke that I’m in my damask period because I love this stuff. I love it too much. I just told my wife, Meg, that I probably should burn that piece above because I use it too much.

Cheers,
Zack

Zack,
The blue and black (patterned) backdrops are awesome! I know some background places sell these types of things, can you be more specific on where you get yours?

Beautiful. The one of him biting his lip brought an instant smile to my face. I am so glad to have found your site through Melissa Jill.

@Jeremy – Stobes vs. Available Light – That sounds like a great basis for a full blog post. I’ll work on that this month.

Stay tuned!

Cheers,
Zack

@ Okke – I prefer it on the FX body. The DX crop makes it feel too tight for me. But that is subjective. If you feel your 85 is too wide then try that 105.

Cheers,
Zack

You must have gorgeous window light to work with. These photos are as good as it gets. I continue to admire your work. Your DVD is pure gold. I have watched it numerous times.
