Hey everyone,

I'm trying to figure out what type of studio lighting a particular photographer is using...I can see that she's using a refector and maybe a large parabolic light modifier shooting through white?? I just love the catchlights-they are soft and large. Any suggestions? The link is: www.peekaboophotos.com -particularly the 4, 5, 6th pics. I think she's too busy to answer me back if I emailed...hoping someone with an experienced eye might know.

Thanks!

    Looks to me like a shoot through white umbrella.

    Soft with no specular highlights.

    A beauty dish has a darker center and is more specular and with more directional fall-off. I don't see any of this in those shots.

    A PLM also is more specular than a shoot-through or softbox.

    YMMV
