Always thought Chris had a very photogenic face...ie...interesting

A lot of lighting going on here with it actually doing anything and as a result his eyes are dead.

I know nothing about studio lightening so could be no help to you. It does seem dark on the left side though but at least the right side doesnt look unnaturally lit.

Not a bad pic for a first go. Maybe just a little more light in the eye`s.

Needs a reflector to bounce light into the left eye as we look at it. Also being a nit you've lost his left ear a touch. All new to me too - brollys and softboxes but the face and eyes need more light. Cheers, Martin

you might want to check out a book by Bill Hurter put out by Amherst Media, it is a book about children's portriature called Children's portrait photography, but on pg. 27 there is diagrams of different lighting set ups and the book covers a bit of examples on lighting techniques both indoor and out, it's very helpful.You can also try pointing one of your lights towards the ceiling to help eliminate shadowing.nice first attempt here though.and practice shall make perfect;0)

Thanks for the comments, advice and mods folks. Perhaps a little more practice required.

Chris, sorry mate. I'll take it down if you don't like it. You didn't get any of me, did you?
