Learning to Light 7

I am looking for some constructive criticism, particularly of how this

is lit. This is one of a set of my first attempts at lighting control

so I wasn't trying to do any thing spectacular; just practicing the

basics. Anything positive or negative that I can learn from would be

appreciated.

The pose was not my idea, but her mother likes it... and since I did

this at the end of a very log session, I wasn't going to get much

better out of her.

Thanks!

This is my attempt at "clam-shell lighting"

The key light here was a bare bulb strobe (Godox AD360) shot with a

white 51" Umbrella with a diffusion cover attached. The light is

positioned above and about as close to in front of as I could get

without a boom arm.

A 42" silver reflector positioned in front of the subject and angled up.

A small off-camera flash (Nissin i40) is directed on the white back

ground.

Lighting a bit maybe flat, but the pose and expression are most impressive!

Cheers
