    Re: Lighting question

    I was the only one in the family that was concern about the lighting. My grandkids are starting to graduate from High School and I want to do 4x5 portraits. I need the lighting right before I start burning sheet film.

    Thanks for the comments.

    more reflector in the first and less flash in the second

    pole is okay for the headshot..but kinda bugs for the full shot as it breaks up the scene

    Re: Lighting question

    I really don't know what I am doing with portrait work, but one time I was inspired to give it a try with a reflector only. My goal was to break some rules and shoot into the sun and use the reflected sunlight back on the faces. I used a long lens for shallow depth of field. I hope you don't mind if I post a few examples. This might give you an idea for using your reflector. I am quite inspired by the LF portrait thread but have never attempted portrait with 4x5. I hear you about wanting to get it right before burning that film.
