Ok in a previous post i finally worked out in trying to get the "soft" light look by moving the lights closer. Also someone recommended using only 1 light for boudoir photos. My next question is where to place the lights. and what angle and what height. Or will this be trial and error process to get the look i'm happy with? obviously poses will play a factor into this.
my setup. bedroom, with dark maroon walls (no idea previous owner). slat bed with a high leather back. 2 umbrella continuous lights. bulbs are 500 watt (total of 100 watt). i also got 2 reflector umbrellas (silver inside black outside) to help diffuse some of the light.
currently right now i'm working with 3 poses. one of the model on her side facing the side of the bed. should i light her AT ALL on the back side or just the side her face is facing? another is lying on her tummy. no idea how to light that pose. the 3rd pose is on her back (just reverse of the tummy pose). should i bring the light facing down on her or from the side or what?
again any tips would help. i can't adjust the output of the lights. so that's a hindrance as well but i can always adjust the exposure a few stops in Photoshop if need be.
