Playing with home made lighting and a back drop in the home studio

Hi Mark,

the photo I see is a different one than the one I clicked on, but they are obviously of the same series of photos. I like your lighting in this image; could you tell us what you did to get this result? It looks professional, not unlike what you would get with one large softbox and a reflector or maybe a small fill light. Kind regards, Vincent

Thank you Vincent and Holger. Vincent, you are very close, but instead of a softbox, I was experimenting with two small globe like light modifiers with speedlights stacked almost next to each other slightly above and to the front right of myself, the subject. I also used a black back drop. I gave a detailed description with photos of the light modifiers in the Casual Photo Conversations forum on Photo.net at this link: https://www.photo.net/discuss/threads/introducing-my-new-diy-light-modifier-project.5511804/

The result was very similar to a larger softbox.
