simple lighting



I wanted to post this photo for two reasons. First, I think you can achieve some nice light with just speedlights. This was shot using two 550ex. The first fired into an umbrella and the second is a bounce off of a white ceiling for fill. What I don't like is a dilemma that comes up time and again. What to do with the hands. I think this photo would have been better with some hand placement. I now remember the karate chop theory. That is, show the side of the hands to the camera, instead of flat on. But, having a beautiful model can help regardless and this photo has had a lot of nice comments on pbase.
