Chri hi, Beautiful model, use a front bounce off the ceiling, or better yet bounce the flash off a silver umberella(s) (studio setting) for a real natural and soft look, be sure to set your umberellas at different lenghts from your subject so as not to flatten especially when you are shooting on automatic, the outdoor backlight fools your camera, unless you register right to the face of your model and then zoom out holding the register. Set your camera on manual, (best) good luck. I was professional photographer with my own studios for over 35 years as well as illustrator, graphic, and commerical artist and painter, now I just Paint, using camera only for reference shots Rey
Artist Reply: Rey thanks so much for your input.. truly appreciate it. Currently no stand flashes with umbrellas although i have two soft boxes 18" by 24" but want to get softer bulbs for them. Never thought about stagering the light at different lengths to keep it from becoming flat.. Thanks again
