Great shots, really like the effect and the overall look to the creations. You really captured the look/feeling of the works that were the inspiration for the pieces.
Very nice work. I've always liked any pin up style photos, the idea of "re mastering" old pin up set ups is really great and i also believe it is a tribute to the original creators of the style, still so in demand today.
As for the liquid idea, there have been quite a few photographers experimenting with the liquid photo technique and style in the past couple of years or so. Namely Alexander Heinrichs in Germany, a photographer i really like.
This being said with this careful well defined positioning of the liquids it is quite obvious you and your team have raised the bar quite a bit higher yet.
As for the Einsteins heads, it has been my personal choice for a couple of years now, for both studio and exterior on location work with it's perfect portable lithium powered companion the Mini vagabond II.
The only possible down side of the Einsteins i have found is it's limited or near non existing ability to hyper sync, precisely because of it's short flash duration combined with it's IGBT technology, reducing the tail life of the flash burst to virtually zero aside from a very short one at full power. It can be overcome when killing ambient becomes and issue and the shutter speed can't be raised over normal sync speed by using ND filters though. Sometimes for this reason i'll revert to the SB900s and Pocket Wizards in bright sunlight if i need to kill ambient as well as freeze action for some action shots.
To be honest flash heads with very long flash durations will have the upper hand in this aspect when hyper syncing becomes an issue. Much like Chris Garrison brilliantly does with his Elinchrom and Ranger power pack combination, for his very large daylight action scenes. But it's a completely different photo style of course having nothing to do with studio action freezing needs and techniques.
Again a very impressive set of photos with a fantastic original concept.
Count me in as a fan sir.

Hey folks!
Many thanks for all your comments, it is really appreciated!
@paneraica, TJ Asher, JohnBrose, Sunny Sra, donrisi, Ian Boys, Chris Fawkes, mitzbenedicto, chuckles84, schlotz, stevenD - I am glad to hear you like it!
@Squirrely Eyed - Long story short -you need a willing model, throw around 30 liters of Milk on her and capture that on minimum 50 frames... rest is just layering in Photoshop!
@SargentRay - Yes, I love and admire old masters! Especially Elvgren and Hildebrandt!
There is so many people shooting liquids these days... but it only proofs that there is a space in photography for absolutely everyone!
Many thanks for your comment!
@kenyee - I hear you, but tbh these are more personal choices than anything else.
@gome1122 - Very messy! Prep and after work takes so much time that it is disturbing some time ;-P
