Raise the light so the shadow falls lower 2. Move the model further in front of the background 3. Diffuse the by shooting through a white sheet or garbage bag stretched. Be sure to keep it at least 3 feet from lights to avoid fire!! 4. Use a spell chech. Chekr. Chker. Checker Mar 21 07 11:32 am Link dDavid wrote: well thats not good!! Mar 21 07 11:34 am Link 5. Use a bounce board to bounce light back on her left side. This will lighten up the shadows without introducing more and will also lower the contrast of the lighting.

Then Use two lights and place one of them at about 45 degrees from the model on either side of the camera, and fill with another light or a reflector from the other side. Use a soft box or any of the methods proposed above. Or bounce it off a white wall. But seriously, the spelling thing, you need to work on that as well. Mar 21 07 01:31 pm Link Shadows are my friend. I like shadows. So do fashion magazines, for the most part.  Mar 21 07 01:36 pm Link dDavid wrote: im preety shure it won't help. Mar 21 07 01:38 pm Link Try moving your subject off the background. Though shadows aren't a bad thing.
