Your comments are highly appreciated.

Awesome! I look forward to having the time (and lighting gear) to do studio work. Care to share what your lighting setup is - gear, angles, and power ratios? Did you vary it much for the different shots?

I particularly like this one:

Is it naturally fringed, or did you use lighting to get that effect?

I noticed subtle artifacts in many of the black backgrounds (I initially thought they were a smudge on my screen). Are they a side-effect of a Photoshop tool, from manual retouching, or resizing for the web?

Circular patterns:

Lined pattern (like mini-blinds):
