Hi All,

whats the best way to light the subject and the above. I will have 4 speedlights available and hopeing to just use 2, less is more approach.
I will be using this background:
MOONLIGH.jpg


its 8ft x 12ft I was thinking about flash through softbox as my main light on subject and a reflective umbrella to provide some fill to kill any shadows and keep the background fairly well lit without any overexposure.

would the fill light need to be positioned high, off to one side and closer to the background (not in the same way as i would to blow out a white background).

any other ideas or links that might help?!

Thanks Lee
