We shot a few fashion style portraits a few weeks back. Finally got around to posting them. I was THRILLED with the final product and the way the light wrapped around both of the subject’s faces.
Setup: Clam shell lighting. Used 2 sb25s and a reflector. One directly behind subject with a shoot through umbrella angled slightly up and a few inches behind subject. Second was in a shoot through umbrella angled down directly in front of (about 8 inches) and above subject. One reflector was held by subject at chest level.
I think it is safe to say these are my two favorite portraits I have ever shot.

Nice work
