Graffiti

[corvus2606]

Dragged the other half out last night to a wall that i've been wanting to use as a backgrop for ages, and had the excuse of trying out my new flash, softbox, and remote triggers. This is my first attempt at using multiple flashes, and I'd like a critique on my lighting, most specifically what i need to improve on.



EXIF:
Exposure 0.008 sec (1/125)
Aperture f/14.0
Focal Length 50 mm
ISO Speed 200
Exposure Bias 0 EV
Flash 2x off camera

I really would like some feedback on this guys, I cant learn anything from an empty thread

I don't know the first thing about photography as i'm just getting into it (just bought my first SLR yesterday). But only thing i see is the shadows on her face might be a little offputting...(thats just me)

How did you have your lights set up? The shadow cast by her nose is a bit harsh.

diagram attached. the model(my lovely partner) kept turning to the left, and i didnt have a way of holding my reflector in place, so hoped it would work out. I guess she turned too far.

Thanks for the input

Well, two things that got me right away were the dark upper corners and the distracting sunglasses...
Otherwise, what Susan said!
Also, the blacks of her outfit seriously lack detail.
And the pose is kind of boring compared to that wall. My eyes go to the wall because it is the most interesting part.
Ask her to give you some attitude.
