I tried it again. It seems that if I have the light facing her directly, I get the same thing only with a harsher background. If the background were black, then it wouldn't be a problem. I wanted to get some different colors in the back just to see what I could do. Prior to this it was not a problem ironing the creases out.
I do have a reflector and tried to get the the right amount of light where I wanted it but I didn't break it out this time. It's a little late and my wife isn't in the mood to pose. I will post what I got in a few minutes.
As for have the light to the left or right and on a degree, I've done that with great results. I can't remember where, but I saw a lighting technique done for magazine covers where there is little shadow and the pictures are quite nice. I'm budgeting for some new lighting gear around June or July. |
