My mom got teacher of the year for her school this year. She needed a updated Head-shot for her packet they require an updated head-shot.

So when she called asking I could do it I thought to my self hey a subject that is not under the age of 5 and that will stay still. I planed on doing about 3 different lighting set ups, but I only stuck with one. I started with one flash upper left from the camera with a 43 inch shoot through umbrella and one gelled on the back drop. After a few shots I discovered the light did not wrap around her face the way I wanted. So I went and got some poster board and had a human light stand hold it for me. This filled in the shadows on the right side of her face nicely. I had a great time learning and playing with the lights.

See the following setup and example pictures.
