Default One Light Set-Up
Here's a image I did a couple weeks ago as part of a portfolio shoot update. All of the lighting on these
images was done with one Canon 580EXII Speedlite off camera in a small soft box.


Technical Stuff:
Canon 5D Mark II
Lens: Canon 85 mm 1/100 sec @ f2, ISO 100
Lighting: 580 EX II in ETTL mode
Camera Exp Comp: -2/3rd

Where's the softbox? This almost looks like natural light with some judicious editing.

Wow, great photo! One question, though - why's the hair hanging in front so blurry?

It was shot at F2, so there really isn't a lot of DOF.
