So... just need some help on lighting. Tomorrow I am going to do a maternity photo shoot with my cousin. She is not at the "perfect size" yet, we're just practicing for lighting and poses and such. Anyways, I'm wanting to get that nice, soft, natural looking lighting. I am going to take advantage of any window lighting, but I don't know how much there is. How do I achieve softer lighting with my hotshoe flash? It is on camera. I practiced with my dog (my only model available and willing at midnight) and this is the result. It's just not the soft look I want.
Is there anyway I can achieve this soft lighting? My setup here was basically pointing the flash at a wall a bit to the left of the subject behind me. Obviously there is some exposure and other technicalities I could've dealt with, it was really more of a snap shot experimenting with my flash.
This is kind of what I'm going for....
