This was my first attempt at a portrait using multiple flashes. Subject is my 9 month old daughter. I used a 420EX off camera to the left as the main light and a 580EXII on camera for fill.
EXIF info: Canon EOS 5D Mark II f/8 1/125s ISO-100 This also my first post so if I messed it up, please forgive me. |

great job on the multiple flash lighting. I haven't tried that one yet.
The only thing I could recommend is some sort of diffuser in between the flash units and the subject. The lighting looks a bit hard maybe a white sheet or I've even used a square of toilet paper as a successful diffuser.

Thanks for the feedback. You're right. The main light didn't have anything on it. I have a mini softbox, don't know why I didn't use it. I had an omnibounce on the fill light and it was aimed upwards. I'll have to try again with the soft box on if I can get her to sit still.
