First shot with studio lights

Received my lights just before dinner so set them up and took a few shots before the kids went to bed.

Well it's safe to say that light works...
Maybe next time try a reflector on the opposing side to bounce a little light back into the face, and give a little structure to the dark shadow under the chin.
A great starting point here
Lovely little lady, a model at hand there !

Thanks
Going to be spending a lot off time trying things I think. Luckily they seemed to enjoy it might be the novelty though.
Heres two more with the same lighting

Look good for a starter, maybe half a stop under exposed (I personally prefer slightly under exposed images tbh) and I'd highly recommend a snoot if you didn't get one with your kit so you can really get some lovely hair lights and separation going on. Makes a lot of difference and can add real depth to an image.

Love these. Well done

Thanks. I've come to realise I'm keener on slightly under exposed/not so white images and that i need to read up a lot more.

heres a few more from a couple of nights ago, including myself which was a lot harder to get focus right than i expected(still slightly off)
