My sweet little friend Emma today

I wanted to experiment with a couple LED lights that were loaned to me. I wasn't very happy with the lighting in these at ALL! Several people on this forum mentioned constant lights not being ideal for portraits and I can see why.

I think the lights came in handy for shot #1 but the shadows and color inconsistency in 2 and 3
bother me a bit.

THere's a lot of purple in the second and third. Third looks like there may be motion in it

I LOVE the first one. Very different.

#2 is a great pose & expression!

Your first image is really nice ! The effect is very different

I also love the first one! Will you share your method?

Thanks so much! This was shot using a 50mm , f4 at 1/500

I had miss Emma in a somewhat dark room and had the 2 LED panel lights facing her left side. I placed the white diffuser portion of my pop out reflector in between her and the lights.

I decreased the exposure just a bit in PP and just left the rest "as is".

Thanks again! It always makes me feel good when someone wants to know my method
