If you have any questions feel free to contact me at pudgephotos@gmail.com.

This posting is for those of you out their that have asked me about lighting setups or for those that just want a new creative way to expose your subjects. On this shoot i worked with another local photographer Jesus aka G-sus Photos and our subject was his girlfriend Daphne. Gf/Bf and family member typically make good subject with needed for testing and trying out new things. The photo diagrams I think are self explanatory. I used a Canon 580ex II and 430ex II. Jesus being a Nikon shooter, used an SB-800 and SB-600 (thats the equipment i X-ed out.)
.

The photo where I drew in the flash heads I made a snoot out of a thick newspaper ad and rapped it over both my flashes. I crossed the flashes on eachother pointing the higher end (580) at her face and the smaller (430) on her feet.



The other set of photos I used an umbrella to bounce the flash overhead onto her face and continued to use the snoot. The smaller flash was used with the umbrella to spread the light out over her upper body and the bigger flash was snooted onto her lower half.
