I like the using a lightstand as a pre-focusing technique. i use a remote - sometimes it doesn't quite focus where I want.

Man, this is awesome. How long have you been doing this stuff? I saw on your flickr that you sold some guitar gear to buy the lights but I wasn't sure how long ago that was.

So that's how you do it! Your photos appear simple in content and flawless in execution. You make something that can be difficult look truly effortless.
