Self Portrait (inspired by erose)

Or maybe 2 of them at 45's on opposite sides... How many do you have?

Two lights of equal strength at 45's to the face will cause a flat, washed out look that is very unappealing in portraiture.

Pink, Yes it would if the lights were at equal power and 45's, but I think O|||||O was talking about just using reflectors..I could be mistaken.

who knows what he is talking about. Jeep owners are strange people.

Why are you not using your SB-600 for this?

I think the flash was the (overpowering) backlight..

OP. more light on the face is needed imo. I like the backlight/rimlight idea but the rest of the photo is too dark..
The second one is brighter, but the light is also pretty flat on that as well.

well I am confused. Oh well. Light it however you want.

You got the "erose inspired" blank stare down pretty well. Kudos.
