I have a large softbox (4.5x6 ish I think), a 3' octobox a snoot, reflectors... Jan 28 07 11:49 pm Link One softbox, one nude model.  Jan 29 07 01:52 am Link Photography by Amber wrote: I don't see why you couldn't use the softbox as the main and the ocotbox below the model. You might have to feather it away from the model a bit but it should do the trick. The main thing is to watch the level of the lower light as you don't want to cast upward shadows on the model's face. Just play with it for a bit until you get the levels right. I am still playing with the setup and tweaking it as I really like the effect it has. I'll see if I have a full shot of the setup to show you the position of everything. Jan 29 07 12:45 pm Link Thanks so much! I really appreciate the feedback and everyone's tips on this thread. thanks a bunch!!! Jan 29 07 05:07 pm Link Ok...here is the set up. Excuse the quality as I cranked up the fill lighting in ACR to show the softboxes. I don't think I had the reflector set up in this shot. This gives you an idea at least :-)  Jan 29 07 09:36 pm Link fawk this is best thread every, exactly what ive been looking for! Definetly reassuring that I can get some solid shots with minimum lights but also that I need to save up all my nickles and dimes! Thanks guys! Jan 29 07 10:59 pm Link Window light. No supplemental, no reflectors.  Jan 29 07 11:02 pm Link  Two lights. One with a 30 degree grid to the right of the model (left in the photo) about 3 feet away aimed down from 8 feet up. Second hair/rim light from behind the model in the opposite direction with a 20 degree grid. The color on the door was ambient light from 3 60 watt light bulbs. I metered to the door and then adjusted the other lights accordingly. The final shot was aimed at a mirror and shot through the reflection with the arch of the mirror framing her. In reality, the model is about 3 feet to the right of me. Jan 29 07 11:23 pm Link Mark M Gong Photograph wrote: Wonderful image. Thanks so much for sharing! Jan 30 07 02:54 am Link bump it up!
