All my lights are at work.

I`m trying to improve my photographic skills and you`re always an inspiration. | Wow thanks! Yeah, one thing I try hard to do (tho my shooting area really isn't the best for) is to get the light reflection to follow a curve or contour instead of just be a reflection on the surface. |

Although it looks it, it's not staged... pure luck when shooting a gig.  |

the floor being high contrast to the bass helps a lot, but, having a dedicated/separate light to one side or the other to emphasize the side contours helps a lot with black.
In fact, sometimes it's b est to have the edge light hotter than the key light...
